Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told reporters EPA Administrator Michael Regan understands the need for stability in the Renewable Fuel Standard. The EPA is expected to release the latest Renewable Volume Obligations soon. According to Vilsack, it’s not only about RVOs, but also about providing stability in RFS volume levels. “The EPA may likely also respond to the outstanding waiver requests that are currently indicating consistency with maintaining stability of the program. We look forward to when those announcements are made to also be able to provide more details on the distribution of $700 million in help we’ve earmarked for the biofuels industry. Congress didn’t provide that level of assistance or help when they passed COVID relief. USDA will provide assistance to biofuel producers.”
