The Government Accountability Office (GAO) will investigate the EPA's issuance of hardship exemptions to small refineries, which allow them to avoid complying with the (Renewable Fuel Standard).
The probe was requested by a bipartisan group of Midwestern lawmakers who say the waivers hurt the revenues of farmers and biofuel producers.
Meanwhile, the matter will be the subject of a meeting in Washington to close out the week. The National Capital Area Chapter of the U.S. Association for Energy Economics holds a discussion on "State of the Renewable Fuels Standard," focusing on "Renewable Volume Obligations, Renewable Identification Numbers, and the small refinery exemption."
