The 10th Circuit Appeals Court has struck down three small refinery exemptions under the Renewable Fuel Standard. The court decided in favor of the Renewable Fuels Association, the National Corn Growers Association, the American Coalition for Ethanol and National Farmers Union, ordering the EPA’s exemptions to CVR Energy and HollyFrontier vacated.
The court’s ruling says the EPA went beyond its

cannot extend exemptions to any small refineries whose temporary exemptions had
lapsed.
