The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a final rule that extends the deadline for compliance reporting under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program for the 2024 compliance year. This extension gives fuel producers, distributors, and suppliers more time to demonstrate compliance with their renewable volume obligations. The rule includes other minor updates, such as amendments to the biodiesel quality standards and consolidation of deadlines for certain compliance reports. This change is meant to alleviate the regulatory burden on affected parties and provides clear, updated guidelines for compliance.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is suggesting changes to certain deadlines within the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program. Specifically, the EPA proposes extending the compliance deadline for small refineries’ 2019 obligations to November 30, 2021, and their attest engagement report deadline to June 1, 2022. For the 2020 compliance year, the deadline for all obligated parties and others in possession of Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs), as well as their attest engagement reports, would be January 31, 2022, and June 1, 2022, respectively. These extensions aim to address ongoing uncertainties and allow for more thorough compliance planning.
