> The Renewable Fuels Association urged the EPA to reallocate all 770 million renewable identification numbers waived beyond levels anticipated in an earlier rule. The group said restoring the volumes would prevent small-refinery exemptions from reducing demand for newly produced renewable fuel in 2026 and 2027.
