A federal appeals court rejected an oil industry challenge to a new Environmental Protection Agency rule requiring more biofuels in gasoline and diesel, saying the agency properly carried out its mandate on energy independence.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington today turned down claims that regulations on fuel sold in the U.S. were retroactive and that the EPA missed a crucial deadline in setting up the regulation. The appeal was made by the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association and the American Petroleum Institute.
