Growth Energy and the Renewable Fuels Association this week filed a motion for partial summary judgment in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit regarding Small Refinery Exemptions. The motion follows the Environmental Protection Agency’s failure to adequately respond to several FOIA requests, according to the groups. Growth Energy and the Renewable Fuels Association asked a federal district court to order EPA to make public at least the most basic information about the exemptions. The two groups say EPA should not withhold the name of the company submitting an application for an SRE nor the name and location of the refinery for which relief is requested. Additionally, they ask that EPA immediately produce the information that was unlawfully withheld for Renewable Fuel Standard compliance years 2015, 2016 and 2017. Finally, the groups say the EPA should not withhold any of the five data elements identified in the proposed Renewables Enhancement and Growth Support rule.
