The already late announcement of 2021 biofuel (and 2022 biodiesel) levels under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and those for 2022 biofuels are not apparently going to come soon, according to a report from Reuters.
The news service reported that the White House has pushed back the proposed rule for the RFS levels out of "political concerns." Expectations had been that they would be announced this month and finalized by the statutory deadline of November 30. The 2021 levels were not even proposed in 2020 and the deadline for those was already missed.
In fact, the proposed levels for 2021 and 2022 have not even been sent to the Office of Management and Budget for their review.
While the report suggests political considerations are keeping the plan on hold, there have been several court decisions now that could also have affected the proposed levels. But no matter the case, it appears the proposed marks are not going to emerge yet this month.
