  • 2Reduces paperwork and bureaucratic requirements for fuel producers and refineries, making compliance less costly and time-consuming
  • 3Maintains protections for air quality by keeping the same environmental standards that fuels must meet
  • 4This is a correction to a previous rule, meaning the EPA fixed errors or unclear language in an earlier version of this regulation
  • 5Affects fuel manufacturers and distributors most directly, with indirect benefits to consumers through potentially lower compliance costs
