We stand ready to work with you in implementing a supplemental rule which is consistent with Set 2 projections, and encourage you to ensure that DOE conducts meaningful, transparent engagement with biofuel stakeholders on any methodology change for adjudicating future SREs.

In a signed congressional letter, Feenstra and other members committed to work with EPA and DOE on implementing a supplemental biofuels rule consistent with Set 2 projections and urged transparent stakeholder engagement on future SRE methodology changes.

both of which would reallocate 100% of the difference between projected and actual exempted volumes for 2025 SREs.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): In the lookback window, EPA announced a new proposed revision to Set 2 after 2025 SRE decisions exceeded projections; the same EPA release identifies Feenstra among Iowa members involved in securing full reallocation and says EPA is taking public comments through December 4, 2026. Because this is still proposed, it is concrete effort but not final delivery of the new add-on revision.

This final rule reflects decisions made after review of public input, coordination with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Department of Energy (DOE)

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The Federal Register final rule implemented EPA's 2026-2027 RFS Set 2 standards and SRE reallocation after public input and DOE coordination, satisfying the core implementation and engagement portions of the commitment, though EPA finalized 70% reallocation rather than the full reallocation Feenstra sought.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of 2026-10-14 · unverified · Supporting passages or original commitment are not verified.. Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

The verified commitment is to work with EPA/DOE on a supplemental RFS rule and encourage transparent DOE engagement. The only verified outcome passage says proposed options would reallocate 100% of projected versus actual exempted 2025 SRE volumes, but it does not verify enactment, DOE engagement, or Randy Feenstra's material contribution. Because the available verified evidence shows at most a still-pending proposed action and no expired deadline, delivery or partial credit is not supported.
