Proposed rule - The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to modify certain compliance dates under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).

The new deadlines would be 30 November 2021, and 1 June 2022, respectively. Second, EPA proposes to extend the RFS compliance deadline for the 2020 compliance year and the associated deadline for submission of attest engagement reports for the 2020 compliance year for obligated parties and RIN-generating renewable fuel producers and importers, and other parties holding RINs. The new deadlines would be 31 January 2022, and 1 June 2022, respectively.
