EPA Reopens REGS Rule to Address SREs

The timing of this action is fitting as EPA continues to rack up more SREs, as indicated by the agency’s April update of its Small Refinery Exemption dashboard. This latest revision reflects another pending 2018 RFS waiver, which raises the number to 40. RFA recently assessed ethanol consumption and blend rate consequences of the SREs—view the white paper here. We applaud EPA’s long-overdue focus on greater SRE transparency, and continue to urge the agency to adopt a more judicious and restrained decision-making process.
