SEC. 2. REPORTED DATA.

    (a) Reported Data.--As soon as practicable after the date of 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Energy, acting through the 
Administrator of the Energy Information Administration, shall include 
in each report titled ``Petroleum Supply Monthly'' of the Energy 
Information Administration, each report titled ``Weekly Petroleum 
Status Report'' of the Energy Information Administration, and any other 
relevant report of the Energy Information Administration, as determined 
by the Administrator of the Energy Information Administration, data on 
sustainable aviation fuel, including--
            (1) the type, origin, and volume of feedstock used in the 
        production of sustainable aviation fuel--
                    (A) in each State or, if appropriate, Petroleum 
                Administration for Defense District, as applicable;
                    (B) in the United States; and

                foreign country, as applicable; and
            (2) the total amount of sustainable aviation fuel--
                    (A) produced--
                            (i) in each State, as applicable; and

        percentage.--The term ``lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions 
        reduction percentage'' means, with respect to any sustainable 
        aviation fuel, the percentage reduction in lifecycle greenhouse 
        gas emissions achieved by such fuel as compared with petroleum-
        based jet fuel, as determined in accordance with--
                    (A) the most recent determinations under the 
                Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use 
                in Technologies (GREET) model developed by Argonne

            (4) Sustainable aviation fuel.--The term ``sustainable 
        aviation fuel'' means liquid fuel, the portion of which is not
