In plain language

This bill amends the renewable fuel program to account for past small refinery exemptions.

The bill proposes changes to the renewable fuel program to address small refinery exemptions from 2006 to 2018. It requires a study to assess the impact of these exemptions and aims to adjust future renewable fuel volume requirements accordingly.

Summary

This bill revises requirements for exemptions given to small refineries of crude oil under the renewable fuel program, which requires transportation fuel to contain a minimum volume of renewable fuel. Specifically, the bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to determine the overall reduction in the national quantity of renewable fuel as a result of exemptions granted to small refineries in 2006-2018. The EPA must increase the renewable fuel standard (RFS) by adding such reductions to future year RFS obligations.

(ii) Reallocating shortfalls to future years.--The Administrator shall increase the applicable volume of renewable fuel required under paragraph (2) by adding the reductions found, pursuant to clause (i), to have occurred across calendar years 2006 through 2018, to the applicable volume required under paragraph (2) for future calendar years, beginning with calendar year 2019.
