The Environmental Protection Agency has sent its proposed final biofuel-blending rules for this year and next to the White House for review.
EPA has said it aims to publicly release final regulations by the end of March.
The biofuel and oil refining industries are awaiting the overdue rules. The two sides disagree on key parts of the proposal, especially a plan to discourage fuels made with non-U.S. feedstocks.
If the EPA proposal holds, it would mark the biggest ever blending quotas for biomass-based diesel and maintain a 15-billion-gallon mandate for conventional corn ethanol.
