WASHINGTON, D.C. – AFPM filed the attached petition requesting that EPA waive the 2016 RFS cellulosic volumes to avoid “phantom fuel” compliance payments arising from a shortfall in 2016 cellulosic production.  AFPM estimates that a favorable decision on this petition would reduce payments for these non-existent fuels by $50-75 million.
