Notice of Decision Regarding the State 

of Texas Request for a Waiver of a 

Portion of the Renewable Fuel 

Standard 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Governor of the State of 

Texas requested a waiver of 50 percent 

of the renewable fuel standard (RFS or 

RFS mandate) for the time period from 

September 1, 2008 through August 31, 

2009, pursuant to section 211(o)(7) of 

the Clean Air Act (the Act), 42 U.S.C. 

7545(o)(7). Based on a thorough review 

of the record in this case, EPA finds that 

the evidence does not support a 

determination that implementation of 

the RFS mandate during the time period 

at issue would severely harm the 

economy of a State, a region, or the 

United States. EPA is therefore denying 

the request for a waiver. In this Notice 

EPA is also providing guidance on the 

Agency’s general expectations for future 

waiver requests. 

DATES: Petitions for review must be filed 

by October 14, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA-HQ-OAR–2008–0380. All 

documents and public comment in the 

docket are listed on the 

www.regulations.gov Web site. Publicly

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Executive Summary 

The RFS program, which requires the 

use of renewable fuels in the U.S. 

transportation sector, was originally 

adopted by Congress in the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct). This 

program was recently modified by 

Congress in the Energy Independence 

and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). The 

RFS program provides that the 

Administrator, in consultation with the 

Secretaries of Agriculture and Energy, 

may waive the national renewable fuel 

volume requirements, in whole or in 

part, if the Administrator determines 

that implementation of the requirement 

would severely harm the economy or 

environment of a State, region, or the 

United States (see Clean Air Act section 

211(o)(7)(A)). 

On April 25, 2008, the Governor of 

the State of Texas requested a fifty 

percent waiver of the national volume 

requirements for the renewable fuel 

standard (RFS or RFS mandate). Texas
