I’d like to call the Subcommittee on the Environ- ment hearing to order and recognize myself for 5 minutes for an opening statement. And, really, before I start going through some prepared text, I want to allow the interested parties that are—oh, is that Whitfield there? Former member of the committee.

To my colleagues on both sides, I would encourage you to do your homework on your free time so that when we come back we can really have a good discussion. I would like to have a really open process as we go through—actually put down original text and then go through some—a markup that wouldn’t be preordained but we would work through some of the processes. So that’s just an editorial comment, and then I will start with my prepared opening statement. Today’s hearing continues this subcommittee’s ongoing efforts to examine the future of our nation’s transportation fuels. One of the most significant programs that influences transportation fuel in America is the Renewable Fuel Standard, today’s topic of discus- sion. More specifically, the focus on this hearing is to provide mem- bers the opportunity to better understand Renewable Identification Numbers, frequently referred to as RINs. RINs are the main component of the Renewable Fuel Standard’s tradable credit system and serve as its compliance mechanism. RINs are attached to renewable fuel gallons at the time of produc- tion and they are separated when that renewable fuel is blended into the Nation’s nonrenewable fuel supply, at which time the blending party can use the RINs to comply with the RFS or they can trade the RINs to another
