XLE•EPA to extend September 1 compliance deadline
The Environmental Protection Agency plans to extend a September 1 deadline requiring oil refiners to demonstrate compliance with the nation's biofuel blending laws, the agency said on Friday, in a move that could provide the industry more flexibility as it grapples with elevated compliance costs.
The agency did not give additional details on the new compliance deadline, but said it would be included in a formal action that it will issue at a later date.
Pending small refinery exemption decisions due by end of August
The agency also said it intends to issue all pending small refinery exemption decisions for 2025 by the end of August, a highly-awaited decision by the industry.
