Senators call on EPA administrator to avoid SRE decisions until after Supreme Court ruling

January 18, 2021 |

In Washington, Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) joined their colleagues from the Midwest, Sens. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) in sending a letter to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler urging him to avoid making any decisions on small refinery exemptions (SREs) until after the Supreme Court rules in the Renewable Fuels Association et. al. v. EPA case.

“Alarming new reports indicate that your Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) may issue numerous pending small refinery exemptions (SREs) which would be a devastating blow to biofuels producers and the farmers who sell to them,” the members wrote.
