Protect Consumers from Reallocation Costs Act of 2025

This bill changes how the Renewable Fuel Standard treats small refineries that get an exemption. It tells the EPA not to shift (or “reallocate”) the exempt refinery’s renewable fuel requirement onto other companies. It also says that when the EPA figures out a company’s yearly obligation, it must still count the gasoline or diesel made by that company’s exempt small refinery in the company’s total fuel volume for that year .

Here are the key points:

• Who is affected: Small refineries with an approved exemption; other fuel producers and importers; the EPA .
• What changes: The EPA cannot move an exempt small refinery’s renewable fuel obligation to other companies, and it must include the exempt refinery’s fuel in the owner’s total annual fuel volume when setting obligations .
• When: Applies each calendar year as the EPA sets annual renewable fuel obligations .
