EPA continuing to review hardship waiver applications after all

In Washington, contrary to Reuters’ report that the Environmental Protection Agency had temporarily stopped approving hardship waivers for small oil refineries, Bloomberg says that is not the case and the agency is continuing to review and issue waivers. It was confirmed by the EPA spokesman. Currently the EPA is said to be reviewing 15 applications. The agency has 90 days to respond to waiver applications, but the controversial program may be included in the review of the Renewable Fuel Standard “reset” that is under discussion.
