The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has scheduled an increasing number of meetings concerning the EPA’s final rule on levels for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for 2023 and beyond, with the total number of meetings now reaching 18. This surpasses the number of meetings arranged for EPA’s proposed rule in late 2022.

Several key meetings have been planned with various stakeholders. These include Western Dubuque Biodiesel on May 26, the Renewable Fuels Association on June 8, and both the World Resources Institute and Growth Energy on June 9.

EPA is required to finalize the levels for the RFS for 2023 and beyond by June 14 via an agreement approved in court following a lawsuit filed by Growth Energy.
