After a two-year delay, on June 3, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency signed and submitted for publication in the Federal Register its final rule for setting renewable fuel percentage standards under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program.
This June 3, 2022 deadline was established via consent decree, under the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, as part of lawsuit by industry groups against EPA alleging that EPA failed to perform non-discretionary duties in accordance with the Clean Air Act (CAA) to establish renewable fuel standards for calendar years 2021 and 2022.
