Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

(1) by striking paragraph (4) and inserting the following:
`(4) BIOBASED PRODUCT-
`(A) IN GENERAL- The term `biobased product' means a product determined by the Secretary to be a commercial or industrial product (other than food or feed) that is--
`(i) composed, in whole or in significant part, of biological products, including renewable domestic agricultural materials and forestry materials; or
`(ii) an intermediate ingredient or feedstock.
`(B) INCLUSION- The term `biobased product', with respect to forestry materials, includes forest products that meet biobased content requirements, notwithstanding the market share the product holds, the age of the product, or whether the market for the product is new or emerging.';
(2) by redesignating paragraphs (9) through (14) as paragraphs (10) through (15), respectively; and
(3) by inserting after paragraph (8) the following:
`(9) FOREST PRODUCT-
