Which industries are materially affected by specific provisions in this bill. 1 helped, 2 harmed.
Section 1(b) amends the definition of 'small refining company' to include entities with daily average aggregate production of obligated fuels not exceeding 75,000 barrels per day for calendar year 2025, providing regulatory relief to small refiners in the oil and gas industry.
Section 1(c)(1)(C)(i) reduces compliance requirements for small refining companies by 75% beginning in calendar year 2028, decreasing demand for renewable fuels like ethanol and harming the renewable energy sector.
The reduction in renewable fuel obligations for small refiners (Section 1(c)(1)(C)(i)) lowers demand for corn-based ethanol, negatively impacting agribusinesses that supply feedstock for biofuel production.
