Discouraged EPA from reducing the 2014 and 2015 renewable volume obligations in the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Opposed the following pieces of legislation: S. 1807 - Corn Ethanol Elimination Act of 2013 Amends the Clean Air Act to eliminate the volume standards under the renewable fuel program applicable to corn-starch ethanol. H.R. 1462-RFS Reform Act of 2013 Decreases the RFS volume requirements and eliminates the separate advanced biofuel volume requirement for 2014-2022. Prohibits EPA from allowing blends of ethanol higher than E10 and reverses EPA's E15 waiver. H.R. 1482-Renewable Fuel Standard Amendment Act Revises the RFS2 by requiring that "renewable fuel" be advanced biofuel beginning January 1, 2014. Decreases the volume requirements of the RFS for 2014-2022 and revokes the separate advanced biofuel standard for those years. H.R. 3895- Energy Exploration and Production to Achieve National Demand Act (EXPAND Act) Repeals section 211(o) of the Clean Air Act relating to the Renewable Fuel Standard.
