Oil lobby sues EPA for “ignoring” its duty to issue 2014 and 2015 RFS

In Washington, the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers and the American Petroleum Institute have filed suit against the Environmental Protection Agency in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for repeatedly delaying the release of the 2014 and 2015 RFS. The two organizations blame the EPA for “ignoring” its duty to issue blending requirements for gasoline and diesel.

Simultaneously, API, the Environmental Working Group (EWG), and anti-hunger group ActionAid USA called for repeal of corn ethanol mandates under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) during a joint press event Wednesday.
