Secretary Naig Issues Statement on EPA’s RFS Small Refinery Exemption Announcement

Secretary Naig Issues Statement on EPA's RFS Small Refinery Exemption Announcement

DES MOINES, Iowa (Aug. 31, 2026) - Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig today issued the following statement after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced new Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) small refinery exemptions and 2026 and 2027 obligations:

"The use of more biofuels strengthens markets for farmers, bolsters American energy security and, at a time when affordability is top of mind, unquestionably helps to save drivers money. EPA's decision to grant this level of small refinery exemptions today is unfortunate, and unjustified. However, I am encouraged that the proposed reallocation of the waived gallons into the 2026 and 2027 renewable fuel obligations can help minimize the impact. EPA must now follow through on its commitment for full reallocation - and do so quickly - to uphold the integrity of the RFS."
