## Summary

**Stops shifting Renewable Fuel Standard obligations off exempt small refineries.** This bill would amend the Clean Air Act so the EPA Administrator cannot reallocate a small refinery's renewable fuel obligation when that refinery has an exemption extension under section 211(o)(9)(B). It would also require that gasoline and diesel refined by such small refineries be counted toward the owner's or operator's annual production or import totals when calculating obligations. - Small refineries: Exempt small refineries would not cause their renewable fuel obligations to be reassigned to other companies. - Owners and operators: Companies that own or operate those small refineries would include the refinery's gasoline and diesel volumes in their own annual obligation calculations. - Other obligated parties: Other refiners and importers would not receive extra Renewable Fuel Standard obligations that would otherwise be reallocated from exempt small refineries.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Stop shifting renewable fuel duties to others: benefit, low. If enacted, EPA would be barred from moving a small refinery’s exempt renewable fuel obligation onto other refiners or importers for that calendar year. Other obligated parties would not get extra renewable fuel duties because a small refinery got an exemption extension.
- Owners must count exempt refinery fuel volumes: cost, low. If enacted, when EPA sets a company’s renewable fuel obligation for a year, it would include gasoline and diesel made at any of that company’s small refineries that received an exemption extension. This could raise the owner’s required renewable fuel credits and compliance costs for that year.
