Certiorari denied.
The U.S. Supreme Court denied a petition for writ of certiorari seeking review of the D.C. Circuit’s decisions in three cases that concerned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) annual determination of obligations in the Renewable Fuel Standard program. American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers and Valero Energy Corporation had sought the Court’s review of the issue of whether EPA was required to consider the appropriate “point of obligation”—the parties to whom the obligations should apply (refineries, blenders, or importers)—on an annual basis.
