WASHINGTON, D.C. — American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) Vice President of Government Relations and Policy Geoff Moody today issued the following statement on the Supreme Court’s ruling in EPA v. Calumet Shreveport Refining, L.L.C.:
Regardless of venue, what's important is that the courts have made clear that small refineries have a right to petition for relief when they are disproportionately impacted by the RFS and that EPA cannot issue blanket denials of those petitions. It is imperative for EPA to clean up its backlog of waiver petitions which are contributing to major uncertainty in the market. And when granting relief petitions, EPA cannot reallocate obligations to other parties."—Geoff Moody, Senior Vice President of Government Relations and Policy
