of the rfs. epa's failure to issue rfs rules in a timely manner that is consistent with the law should not be misconstrued as ooh sign that the program is broken. up until 2013 the program worked as intended to spur innovation and growth in the advanced biofuel space. i look forward to hearing from ms. mccabe of epa's past successes and how they can get back to the past successes. i would say i think i'm particularly interested in the process and how that process can be amended. this is not a hearing to talk about whether we should repeal or if any way adjust the rfs but what we can do to make this program administered in a way that provides certainty. thank you, ms. mccabe, for showing up and thank you, mr. chairman, for the opportunity to offer a statement. >> at this time we'll proceed from testimony from our witness janet mccabe, the office of air and radiation. reproefs yously serve as the principle deputy to the assistant administrator. it's good to be able to see you again. in tradition of

i must emphasis this is not a problem with the rfs but a problem with the administration of the rfs. as one testimony for the record noted, epa's failure to issue rf rfs rules shouldn't be read as the program is failing. i look forward to hearing from ms. mccabe on the epa's past success of the program and how they can get back to those past successes. i am particularly interested in the process and how that can be amended. this isn't a hearing about repealing or adjusting the rfs but how to make the program administered in a way that provides currentertainty. thank you for showing up and thank you for the opportunity to make a statement. >> we will proceed with testimony from janet mccabe who is from the office of air and radiation and the assistant administrator. it is good to be able to see you again. in tradition of the subcommittee we swear in all witnesses appearing before us. i would like to ask you to stand and raise your right hand. do you swear the testimony you are about to give will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god? >> i do. >> thank

>> greenhouse gas emissions are fundamental to the purpose of the rfs. when we set up the program in our 2010 rule we did an evaluation of greenhouse gases. so the annual fuel volumes, we don't do an independent relook at greenhouse gas emissions. >> okay. i look forward to continuing to work with you. this is a critical industry and in my state as well as the other states here a critical part of energy independence in our country and with agricultural in particular. we have a special connection given the fact that i represent michigan which we like to believe is the center of the auto industry, as well. so i look forward to working with you. >> thank you. >> ms. mccabe, i appreciate you being here. let me walk through history we walked through together. 2010, final rule for the rfs was four months late. in 2011, it was a good year. it was only two weeks later. 2012, one and a half months late. 2013, nine months late. 2014, 18 months late and counting and 2015 six months late and counting. the challenge is once we get into '1 6/, '17, and '18, how does t

our understanding is that congress meant more renewable fuel to be used than used without the rfs. >> i would say too going further, i have a diagram you can pull this up on the internet where all of the e 85 pumps are located and most of them are in the upper midwest and again a lot of flex fuel vehicles bought out there they simply don't have access to e 85 because the pumps and the infrastructure is not yet available. so i think if we had that infrastructure in place we would see e-85 use go up. so again -- and i do want to go back, there are challenges to cell lossic and algae as we move forward, but again so many other types of fuels have seen this problem in the past and fracking is a great example of that and i support fracking. but it took many many years for that become a cost effective way of exacting fuel. so we have those challenges. but again we're moving forward in iowa. many states are moving federal with cell lossic. the greenhouse gas emissions go down tremendously with that product and i think that is a goal everybody would like to see. thank you. >> i want to -- as
