Bill overview
This bill changes the rules for small refineries to request exemptions from the renewable fuel standards under the Clean Air Act. It requires small refineries to submit exemption requests by June 1st of the year before the exemption would take effect, and it makes this information publicly available. The bill also mandates that the EPA report to Congress about each exemption request, detailing the refinery’s hardship and the amount of renewable fuel waived. Finally, it adjusts how the annual renewable fuel standard is calculated to account for these exemptions.
