Notice of Decision Regarding Requests for a Waiver of the Renewable Fuel Standard
Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
The Governors of several States requested that EPA waive the national volume requirements for the renewable fuel standard program (RFS or RFS program), pursuant to section 211(o)(7) of the Clean Air Act (the Act), based on the effects of the drought on feedstocks used to produce renewable fuel in 2012-2013. Several other parties submitted similar requests. Based on a thorough review of the record in this case, EPA finds that the evidence and information does not support a determination that implementation of the RFS program during the 2012- 2013 time period would severely harm the economy of a State, a region, or the United States. EPA is therefore denying the requests for a waiver.
