Here's the same information I sent to your colleague Jeffrey Barber yesterday afternoon:
"The criteria used to grant waivers has not changed since previous administrations. EPA follows a long-standing, established process where the Agency uses a DOE analysis to inform decisions about refiner exemptions/waivers. These waivers are only considered for refineries that submit applications and that are below the blending threshold," EPA spokesperson, Liz Bowman
On background (not for attribution): DOE's analysis is developed based on information submitted to EPA, and DOE provides a recommendation with regard to the waiver. While the applications continue to come in, EPA has granted roughly 25 so far. We do not have specifics on overall refining capacity.
