A House Energy & Commerce subcommittee will hold a hearing Tuesday on the Trump administration’s use of small refinery exemptions (SREs) relative to the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).
Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Frank Pallone, D-N.J., and the chairman of the Environment and Climate Change Subcommittee, Rep. Paul Tonko, D-Ill., said in a statement that “the Trump administration’s abuse of EPA’s waiver authority is undermining the RFS program and devastating the renewable fuel industry.”
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson, D-Minn., welcomed the hearing. "Our farmers and rural communities rely on the RFS for their economic viability, and EPA’s actions have done nothing but provide uncertainty and the potential for economic ruin," Peterson said.
It is not yet clear who will be testifying on behalf of the administration.
Welcome
