While EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler told lawmakers last week he had no announcement to make on whether the agency would dramatically scale back its use of small refinery exemptions (SREs) under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue said at the Commodity Classic gathering the use of SREs would be declining.

Wheeler will appear on the Hill this week and will be pressed again on the topic and perhaps even on his guidance that something would be announced by the agency “soon.”
