February 19, 2025 Lee Zeldin, Administrator United States Environmental Protection Agency William Jefferson Clinton Building 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Mail Code: 1101A Washington, DC 20460 Dear Administrator Zeldin: Congratulations on your confirmation as Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Our associations are ready to engage with EPA and help address major issues. We are excited for the opportunity to assist the Trump Administration. We recognize the value and benefits of liquid and gaseous fuels for both the American people and our environment. The undersigned organizations represent a diverse group of industries, from petroleum refiners, fuel marketers and retailers, biofuels producers, and agriculture stakeholders. While our organizations have not always agreed on every detail, we have joined together in recognition of the critical role liquid fuels serve in the American economy, to advance liquid fuels, and ensure consumers have a choice of how they fuel their vehicles. Since the enactment of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), our nation has benefited from increased energy security, an enhanced agricultural industry, and lower carbon fuel options. As the EPA begins work on policies that promote American energy and renewable fuels, we encourage the EPA to consider robust future renewable fuel volumes for 2026 and beyond. We believe strong, steady volumes for conventional biofuel targets, biomass-based diesel, and advanced fuels would more accurately reflect the availability and ongoing investments in feedstocks and production capacity. Additionally, it would reflect the increased demand in new markets, such as marine, rail and aviation. Our industries will work to continue providing liquid fuels with the significant renewable fuel volumes that our country needs to fuel American growth. Additionally, we urge EPA to release multi-year standards for the RFS. Setting multi-year standards helps provide more certainty for obligated parties, renewable fuel producers, and other market participants. This certainty is critical for business planning and compliance, as well as longer term stability to promote capital investment. Our organizations are excited to help deliver on the Trump Administration's promise of U.S. energy dominance. Together we share the same mission--to produce and deliver reliable, affordable, and cleaner fuels for our nation and our world. We appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to the opportunity to work with you to accomplish our shared goals.
