Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Program: RFS Annual Rules, 87 FR 39600 (July 1, 2022) (‘‘2020–2022 RFS Annual Rule’’). On July 20, 2022, CBD filed a petition for review of the 2020– 2022 RFS Annual Rule challenging whether EPA complied with the consultation requirements of ESA section 7(a)(2), 16 U.S.C. 1536(a)(2); the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7545(o)(2)(B)(ii)(I); and the APA, 5 U.S.C. 706. On September 27, 2022, CBD filed a motion for summary vacatur of the 2020–2022 RFS Annual Rule. Center for Biological Diversity v. Environmental Protection Agency, Case No. 22–1164 (D.C. Cir.), Doc. 1966328. Under the proposed settlement agreement, EPA would commit to complete its ESA section 7(a) consultation for the RFS rule subsequent to the 2020–2022 RFS Annual Rule that EPA proposed on December 30, 2023. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Program: Standards for 2023–2025 and Other Changes, 87 FR 80582 (December 30, 2022) (‘‘2023–2025 RFS Set Rule’’). If either the Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine Fisheries Service issues a biological opinion in connection with this ESA consultation, EPA would also agree to issue a determination addressing any conservation recommendations, terms and conditions of any incidental take statement, and/or reasonable and prudent alternatives within the time frames set forth in that biological opinion. CBD would agree to dismiss with prejudice its challenge to the 2020–2022 RFS Annual Rule within five days of receiving notice from EPA that it has terminated the ESA section 7(a) consultation for the 2023–2025 RFS Set Rule. The proposed Settlement Agreement also includes standard language regarding resolution of costs and attorneys’ fees, stipulation of extensions, lapses in appropriations, disputes in implementation, preservation of Agency discretion, and the CAA section 113(g) process. In accordance with section 113(g) of the CAA, for a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this document, the Agency will accept written comments relating to the proposed settlement agreement. EPA or the Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed settlement agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the CAA.
