     7  duced]  North American-produced fuel derived from vegetable oils, animal
     8  fats, and other renewable feedstocks that meet the requirements of  ASTM

    15  such  bioheating  fuel  will be covered to the extent and time limits of
    16  the warranty then covering such burner or boiler[. The commissioner,  in
