NATSO Files Comments with EPA on RFS Volume Obligations

Added on: July 11, 2019

Abstract:

On August 31 NATSO submitted formal comments with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) outlining the travel plaza and truckstop industry's perspective on the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), with a particular focus on EPA's proposed renewable volume mandates for 2018.  NATSO generally supports the EPA's proposal because it appropriately recognizes that the RFS has the potential to cause problems in the retail fuels market, and seeks to address those potential problems while still accomplishing the RFS's objectives -- diversifying, increasing, and improving the emissions characteristics of the nation's fuel supply while lowering costs for consumers.
