Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Program: Standards for 2026 and 2027, Partial Waiver of 2025 Cellulosic Biofuel Volume Requirement, and Other Changes".

Key Points

• This resolution aims to cancel a recent rule from the Environmental Protection Agency. The rule sets the amount of renewable fuels, like corn ethanol and soy biodiesel, that must be mixed into the nation's gasoline and diesel supply for the years 2026 and 2027.
• If this resolution passes, the EPA's plan would have no legal power. This would stop the government from requiring fuel companies to use specific amounts of biofuels, which critics argue can raise costs for refineries and consumers.
• The resolution also targets a specific change the EPA made to 2025 requirements for cellulosic biofuel. This type of fuel is made from wood, grasses, or the non-edible parts of plants.
• Supporters of the resolution often argue that these mandates are too expensive or difficult for the energy industry to meet. Opponents argue that the mandates help the environment and support American farmers who grow the crops used for fuel.
