n Biodiesel Industry Responds
to EPA RIN Proposal
The National Biodiesel Board (NBB)
released the following statement Thursday
after the EPA issued its proposed rule
for addressing fraudulent Renewable
Identification Numbers (RINs) under
the Renewable Fuel Standard:
"While we are still reviewing the
details, this proposal appears to be
another positive step toward ensuring
that RIN fraud is a thing of the past,"
said Anne Steckel, NBB's vice president
of federal affairs. "We want to thank
the EPA for working aggressively to
address this issue and for proposing
constructive solutions that will restore
confidence in RIN markets."
"This problem was caused by
a handful of wrongdoers who took
advantage of a good policy for advancing America's energy security," Steckel
added. "Two of those people are now

facing significant prison time, and that
enforcement along with these tightened regulations will go a long way
toward preventing anything like this
from happening again."
