Bill > HR2460

This bill seeks to completely repeal the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), a program administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that requires transportation fuel sold in the United States to contain a minimum volume of renewable fuels. Specifically, the bill would eliminate Section 211(o) of the Clean Air Act, which established the RFS, and make corresponding technical amendments to other sections of the Clean Air Act and the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act to remove references to the renewable fuel program. The bill, titled the "Eliminating the RFS and Its Destructive Outcomes Act," would effectively end the federal mandate that requires fuel producers to blend renewable fuels like ethanol into gasoline and diesel, a program originally designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance energy security, and support the domestic agricultural and biofuel industries. By repealing this program, the bill would remove the existing requirements for renewable fuel production and blending volumes that have been in place since the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and expanded by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
