NOPA Statement on EPA’s Supplemental RFS Proposal

WASHINGTON, September 16, 2025 – The National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA) issued the following statement today in response the the release of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) supplemental Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) proposal:

“We appreciate EPA’s thoughtful approach in addressing the Small Refinery Exemptions inherited from the previous Administration and urge the Agency to fully account for all waived gallons. NOPA applauds the EPA for maintaining the policy of prospectively accounting for future SREs, and encourages the Agency to swiftly finalize the 2026–2027 RVO proposal, inclusive of the import-RIN discount, to provide the certainty the market needs to invest and grow.”

– Devin Mogler, President and CEO, NOPA
