Monroe Energy, LLC v. EPA
Case Documents:
Filing Date Type File Action Taken Summary 01/28/2014 Petition for Review Petition for review filed. After EPA proposed its 2014 renewable fuel standard (RFS), Monroe Energy, LLC petitioned the D.C. Circuit for review of EPA’s 2010 amendment to rules governing the RFS program, and in particular the provision that imposes compliance obligations on refiners and importers of diesel and gasoline fuels rather than on the blenders who produce the finished transportation fuels. Monroe Energy contends that its challenge to the 2010 rule is timely because, due to changed circumstances, EPA in the 2014 RFS proposes to waive the statutory standards for the required quantities of renewable fuels and to establish a new methodology for determining the standards that will increase the regulatory burden created by the 2010 rule for certain refiners and importers.
