our biofuel producers are desperate for certainty under the rfs. home builders, transportation stake holders and local county officials are concerned about the jurisdictional expansion to control our state's water resources. communities and small business owners fear that the epa's ozone mandate will stunt potential economic development and growth in our state. as a result of the activist role the epa has played for the last eight years, families are concerned about the futures of their livelihood. we all want clean air and clean water. that is one point i know each and every person here agrees on. but with the epa's tremendous impact on americans' lives, each and every day, it is important that the agency be open, transparent and answerable for its actions. given these concerns along with the many others that have been and will continue to be discussed today, what steps will you take as the epa administrator to provide relief for american families that are faced truly with an onslaught of epa rules? >> senator, you mentioned open, transparent rule

i would like to go back and revisit our discussion on the rf f. as you know, iowa is home to 43 ethanol refineries. we are the largest producer of ethanol west or east of the missouri river. president-elect trump reiterated his support for biofuel while he was campaigning across iowa and all across the midwest. those areas of the country over overwhelmingly supported his candidacy and led to his victory thank you for stating once again that you would honor his commitment to biofuels by carrying out the rfs as intended by congress. policy certainty is key for economic growth and this is something we discussed in my office. unfortunately, as a result of uncertainties surrounding the epa renewable fuel volume targets in 2014, 2015 and 2016 second-generation biofuel investment decreased and proposed projects moved overseas. fortunately the epa has recently changed its course and released updated volume targets to meet the levels prescribed by congress. if confirmed, as administrator, what would you do to continue to provide certainty so investment can

pruitt, i want to clarify your response to this congressional intent when it comes to the rfs. what i want to know and what the people of illinois, we are also a great producer of ethanol, what we need to know is where exactly you stand on the rfs. are you the attorney general who cited with big oil three scope to slam the u.s. you said it was unworkable and it was a -- program. some confused as to what you're saying today. are you that are used sculptra today who saying all the right things in this confirmation here in meetings to try to reassure states by repeating nice sounding but ultimately vague and hollow mantra that if confirmed to would enforce the rfs laws written by congress as you and i are quite well aware of such a statement dodges the critical issue for biofuel producers and workers. under under the law the pa has considerable discretion to adjust the renewable volume obligation in a manner that you would argue is contrary to get it may be compliant with explicit letter of the statute. so you could still technically be in compliance with congress and the law but

undermine the rfs. >> but the comic. has nothing to do with congressional intent. earlier today you said you would abide by congressional intent, congressional intent is to keep that point of obligation with the soy and corn producers in the biofuel manufacturers not to move away from it. regardless of what the open comment. says so you are saying that you are willing, your answer is no, because you would be open to moving it away from the corn and soybean growers, the farmers towards the blenders if that's what the comic. -- if that is what comes out of the comment period. it would be against congressional intent though. >> senator, i think maybe with respect to congressional intent and the statute, the intent as far as the point of obligation is not addressed in the statute itself. that is a decision and administered has been involved in the process of store but it is been to much discussion the epa has dealt with this issue before. what i'm saying is it's the job to enforce the program, to administer the program, to e
