NCGA Requests RFS Comment Extension

The National Corn Growers Association submitted a letter Thursday asking the Environmental Protection Agency to extend the comment period regarding a waiver of the Renewable Fuels Standard from 30 days to 60 days.

"Across the nation, our members are beginning one of the busiest times of the year – harvest. Given the demands of harvest I am concerned that the proposed 30 day comment period will not provide sufficient time for a thorough analysis of the proposed waiver," NCGA President Garry Niemeyer wrote.

He said also that it was too early to determine the final corn supply.
