Key points
- EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the release of the Reallocation of Additional 2025 Small Refinery Exemptions proposed rule.

- EPA is proposing and taking comment on two approaches for reallocating 100% of the 770 million RIN difference between estimated and granted 2025 exemptions: split the supplemental volume between 2026 and 2027 obligations, or add the full supplemental volume to 2027 obligations.
