Two New Small Refiner Exemption Requests Received By EPA

Fresh on the heels of EPA announcing they have granted 31 small refiner exemptions (SREs) under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), EPA data now shows that additional requests have been made.

EPA now shows that 42 SREs have been received for the 2018 compliance year as two are currently listed as being “pending petitions.” Agency data previously indicated that 40 requests had been made with 31 of those being approved. The data showed that six were denied and three were declared ineligible or were withdrawn.

It is not clear when the two latest SREs were received nor is there any indication as to when the agency will make a decision on the latest requests.
