Proposed Alternative RIN Retirement Schedule for Small Refineries
On this page:
Rule Summary
On June 3, 2022, EPA proposed to provide an alternative RIN retirement schedule for small refineries that would provide them with additional time and a broader range of RINs to comply with their 2020 RFS obligations. EPA is proposing this alternative RIN retirement schedule because the Agency has determined that there are extenuating circumstances specific to the 2020 compliance year, including a limited availability of RINs and the significant delay in EPA issuing its decisions on SRE petitions.
