Does EPA consider it a conflict of interest for a third-party company to assist a group of renewable fuel producers and importers of renewable fuel to help meet the requirements of the re-registration and engineering review pursuant to section 80.1450?
EPA does not restrict a renewable fuel producer or an importer of renewable fuel from seeking a third-party company to assist them in meeting the re-registration and engineering review requirements pursuant to section 80.1450. The renewable fuel producer and importer of renewable fuel are solely responsible and liable for complying with all requirements in RFS2, whether or not a third-party company assists them in the compliance process.
