Public Hearing Information for Proposed Renewable Fuel Standards for 2020, 2021, and 2022

EPA will hold a virtual public hearing January 4, 2022, on its proposal for the “Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Program: RFS Annual Rules” which was signed on December 7, 2021. An additional session will be held on January 5, 2022, if necessary, to accommodate the number of testifiers that sign-up to testify. In this action, EPA is proposing the 2020, 2021, and 2022 renewable fuel standards, several regulatory changes to the RFS program, and to address the remand of the 2016 standard-setting rulemaking.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this hearing will be held virtually only using Zoom (i.e., there will be no in-person hearing). In order to attend the virtual public hearing, all attendees (including those who will not be presenting verbal testimony) must register by sending an email to ASD-Registration@epa.gov

A separate registration form must be submitted for each person attending the hearing. Please register no later than December 20, 2021.

In order to allow everyone to be heard, EPA is limiting verbal testimony to three minutes per person. Speakers will not be able to share graphics via the virtual public hearing. Speakers will be able to request an approximate speaking time as part of the registration process, with preferences considered on a first-come, first-served basis. The order of speakers will be available no later than January 3, 2022.

If you have further questions or special needs, please contact Nick Parsons at ASD-Registration@epa.gov.
