EPA Receives Additional Small Refiner Exemptions

EPA data shows the agency now has 23 small refinery exemption (SREs) requests for the 2019 compliance year, an increase from two compared with month-ago data.

Attention continues on the issue with reports indicating EPA will respond to a court decision sometime in early March on this topic.

Indications are the court ruling has the potential to impact many previously granted SREs in that the court determined that for three of those granted for the 2016 compliance year, the agency did not act appropriately as the court said the SREs were to be extensions of ones granted prior to 2010.
