In the memo, Perdue also said he would like to explore with EPA and DOE programs that would assist with infrastructure build-out for E15.

Petroleum interests wanted a more manageable cost structure for RINs.  Again Before this month's Illegal Waviers were announced D6 RINs were trading.. around $0.20

Houston —  Conventional renewable fuel or D6 2019 Renewable Identification Numbers lost 40% of their value late Friday afternoon on reports the US Environmental Protection Agency was set to make an announcement on 2018 Small Refinery Exemptions, sources said before the details were made public at 5 pm CT.

The EPA reported that 31 SREs would be granted for 2018, with 6 petitions denied.

D6 RINs began the day trading at 20 cents/RIN, were assessed at 19.75 cents/RIN at 1:30 pm CDT before falling and were heard trading as low at 12 cents/RIN.

Assuming that D6 RINs will return to a target around $0.20.. The CCC or DOE or EPA can administer a program whereas it issues a CERTIFIED Quantity of Blended Ethanol gallons as submitted by Retailers into RFS Obligated Parties.  In return generated funds can be disbursed to Qualifying Retailers who have installed Blender pumps for the program.

I think it's an idea which has merit.
