# IRFA applauds US EPA proposal to reallocate 100% of additional RFS refinery exemptions

> The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association welcomed EPA's proposal to fully reallocate additional small refinery exemptions granted for 2025, so exempted volumes do not reduce overall blending obligations. The group urged that the volumes be split between 2026 and 2027 and called for review of the exemption system.
