NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded Sinclair Oil Corporation waivers that exempt both its refineries in Wyoming from biofuel blending requirements for the 2019 compliance year, two sources familiar with the matter said, making it the only company to have received exemptions for that year so far.

The EPA had announced it granted two 2019 waivers to refining facilities on Tuesday night, hours before the departure of the administration of President Donald Trump, but did not identify the recipients. Some 30 other waiver applications for that year remained unanswered.

But a Purdue University professor said it was unlikely that President Biden, when he takes office on Jan. 20, will immediately undertake broad-scale trade reform, pointing out that “he has other priorities that take precedence.” Corn ethanol production is down 2 billion gallons this year because of the economic slowdown that accompanied the pandemic and reduced gasoline consumption, said the Renewable Fuels Association on Wednesday. Geoff Cooper, the RFA’s chief executive, said Congress is shying away from targeted aid, but that the USDA could provide the money if Congress provides a new tranche of cash for agricultural assistance.
