Interim Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler says he’ll push ahead with biofuel policy reforms that former EPA Chief Scott Pruitt has been pursuing prior to his departure. One is to lift the Reid Vapor Pressure Rule and allow year round use of E15. South Dakota Corn Growers President Troy Knecht says his group has been wanting that for some time.

The other policy the interim administrator is looking at would allow renewable identification numbers or RINS for exported ethanol. Knecht who serves as a board director for the American Coalition for Ethanol says that would hurt the Renewable Fuel Standard and he opposes that.

He says letting RINS be used for exports just defeats the purpose of allowing year round use of E15.

Wheeler says the reform proposals he’s moving forward on will come in a package and not be done on a piecemeal basis.
