EPA is aiming to propose new biofuel blending volumes under the renewable fuel standard (RFS) in April or May that would aim to set volumes for 2026 and likely one or two more years, biofuels industry sources say, even as officials are delaying compliance for the 2024 implementation year to account for an expected revision of those requirements.

From Inside TSCA

The Trump EPA is outlining plans to significantly scale back the Biden-era “framework” rule for evaluating and thus regulating chemicals under TSCA, asking a federal appellate court to remand the rule so that officials can reconsider it “in its entirety,” Nancy Beck, EPA’s newly appointed deputy chemicals chief, told the court.

A legislative push by biofuels supporters and some oil sector groups to authorize year-round 15 percent ethanol fuel (E15) is facing renewed uncertainty as prospects for the measure to pass as part of a stopgap spending measure fade, scotching hopes of a quick passage through Congress and sending supporters looking for other legislative vehicles.

The Trump administration is appealing the recently issued preliminary injunction that seeks to unwind its categorical freeze of federal grants at EPA and other agencies after the lower court specifically targeted for release billions in Biden-era energy, environment and infrastructure grants.

Drawing strong rebuke from environmentalists, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has directed the state’s recycling agency to delay adoption of rules to implement the landmark 2022 law SB 54 requiring an extended producer responsibility (EPR) program for plastic recycling, to hold additional discussions over the next year with stakeholders.
