On May 22, 2019, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") published an entry in the Spring 2019 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions announcing that EPA will review the rulemaking "Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Changes to Renewable Fuel Standard Program" pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The purpose of this review is to determine if the provisions that could affect small entities should be continued without change, should be rescinded, or amended to minimize adverse economic impacts on small entities. The entry invited public comment on this proposal via the established docket on Regulations.gov by August 22, 2019--90 days after publication of the Spring 2019 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions. On August 15, 2019, EPA received a request from the Small Refiners Coalition to extend the comment period by 30 days to allow its members to provide thorough comments and data. On August 16, 2019, EPA received a similar request from the Small Retailers Coalition. EPA is extending the deadline for written comments an additional 30 days to September 23, 2019.
