NEW YORK - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is likely to issue partial waivers to some of the 39 small refineries seeking relief from the nation’s biofuel laws for 2018, in an unusual option to balance the competing interests of oil and corn producers, two sources briefed on the matter said on Wednesday.
The EPA is set to decide on its pending 2018 exemption applications by the end of March, the compliance-year deadline under the RFS. “EPA continues to implement the Renewable Fuel Standard program, including Small Refinery Exemptions, in accordance with the Clean Air Act, taking into consideration additional direction from Congress, recommendations from Department of Energy, and relevant court decisions,” he said.
