This bill, known as the "Protect Consumers from Reallocation Costs Act of 2025" , proposes an amendment to the Clean Air Act concerning the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Its central aim is to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from reallocating renewable fuel obligations that apply to small refineries that have been granted an extension of an exemption under the RFS program. The legislation explicitly prohibits the EPA Administrator from shifting these exempted volumes to other obligated parties, thereby aiming to protect consumers from potential cost increases. Furthermore, it mandates that the Administrator must include the gasoline or diesel refined by an exempted small refinery in the total volume when determining the renewable fuel obligations for a person who owns or operates that refinery, ensuring these volumes are still considered without imposing additional burdens on unrelated entities.
