The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency tried to avoid adding fuel to the fire in connection with a lawsuit filed against it in March by the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers and the American Petroleum Institute. The two oil industry trade associations alleged that the federal agency failed to meet the congressionally mandated Renewable Fuel Standard deadlines.
The complaint alleged that the EPA had violated a nondiscretionary duty under the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. §7545(o)(3)(B), to establish renewable fuel obligations applicable to the calendar years 2014 and 2015 and to approve or disapprove plaintiffs’ petition to waive in part for calendar year 2014 the renewable fuel volumes established by 42 U.S.C. §7545(o)(2).
