Opposed draft legislation, the "21st Century Transportation Fuels Act," sponsored by Congressmen Shimkus and Flores, which would repeal the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) in exchange for a national (95 RON) octane fuel requirement. Submitted comments to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportations National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule for Model Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks. Provided recommendations for removing regulatory barriers restricting market access to high octane midlevel ethanol blends. Opposed H.R. 1315, The RFS Reform Act, which amends the RFS to eliminate the conventional ethanol requirement, sets a 10% cap on the amount of ethanol that can be blended into gasoline and reduces the total amount of renewable fuel required to be blended between 2017 and 2022. Opposed H.R. 777, a bill to reverse EPAs approval of E15 and require more unnecessary testing for higher ethanol blends. Opposed H.R. 119, the LEVEL Act (Leave Ethanol Volumes at Existing Levels Act), a bill to repeal Renewable Fuel Standard II, keeping RFS I volumes intact. Opposed H.R. 776, a bill that requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to limit the total volume of cellulosic biofuel in transportation fuel under the renewable fuel standard to what is commercially available until the EPA submits to Congress a comprehensive study on cellulosic biofuel and the environmental and economic impacts of producing such fuel. Opposed H.R. 1314, a bill to eliminate the RFS. Opposed H.R. 5212 and S. 2519, bills to phase out the conventional ethanol mandate by 2 billion gallons per year, beginning in 2023 and eliminate it by 2030.
