The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ordered EPA’s action to grant three small refinery waivers must be “administratively stayed pending further order of the court.” According to the Renewable Fuels Association, this prevents the EPA from further processing the exemptions until the court has had opportunity to consider the emergency motion for stay. EPA has until February 3 to respond to the motion and replies are due to the court by February 10.
