           PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD FOR RENEWABLE FUEL STANDARDS

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, a whole bunch of us Midwest biofuel 
Senators sent a cover letter with our comments to President Trump. 
Those comments were in regard to the biofuel rules that are out for 
public comment.
  The President has been a supporter of biofuels and the EPA shouldn't 
undercut President Trump's support of RFS. I urge the EPA and 
Administrator Wheeler to adjust the proposed supplemental rule to 
account for actual waived gallons, using hard data from past practices, 
to send an unambiguous signal to the marketplace.
  I am glad to have the opportunity to comment, and I encourage all 
farmers, biofuel producers, and anybody else interested in supporting 
the RFS to make their comments. Those comments should be along the 
lines of what was agreed to in the Oval Office on September 12, which 
the EPA regulations don't reflect properly.
  So tell the EPA that you want the September 12 agreement agreed to. 
Go to regulations.gov or to the Iowa Farm Bureau or Iowa Corn websites 
before the deadline on November 27 to tell the EPA to stand behind the 
President's Oval Office agreement.
  I yield the floor.
