This bill would end the federal renewable fuel program run by the Environmental Protection Agency, also known as the Renewable Fuel Standard or RFS. That program requires certain amounts of renewable fuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, to be blended into the nation’s fuel supply. If this bill became law, the main section of the Clean Air Act that creates that program would be removed, and other related laws would be updated to match. In simple terms, the bill would eliminate the EPA’s renewable fuel mandate.
- It repeals Section 211(o) of the Clean Air Act, which is the part that authorizes the renewable fuel program.
- It makes smaller wording changes in the Clean Air Act so the law still reads correctly after the repeal.
- It also updates a separate law dealing with petroleum marketing rules so it refers to the fuel regulations as they existed before this bill would take effect.
