The Environmental Protection Agency failed to follow the Regulatory Flexibility Act , which requires federal agencies to create a panel to gauge the impact of new rules on small businesses, the Office of Advocacy said.

The EPA rule also calls for reforms to the compliance credit market that underpins the Renewable Fuel Standard, which requires U.S. refiners to blend biofuels like ethanol into the fuel pool or buy those credits from those who do.
