## Summary

**This bill would stop shifting Renewable Fuel Standard obligations away from small refineries that have exemption extensions. It would also require companies to count the gasoline or diesel made by those exempt small refineries when calculating a company's total production or imports for RFS obligations.** - Small refineries with exemption extensions would not have their renewable fuel obligations reallocated to other parties. This protects the specific volumes tied to those exemptions. - Companies that own or operate an exempt small refinery would have that refinery's gasoline or diesel volumes included in the company's total production or imports when computing their RFS obligation. This changes how a company's total volume is counted. - The EPA Administrator would be barred from reallocating obligations tied to exempt small refineries when making annual obligation determinations under the Clean Air Act. This limits how obligations can be reassigned.
