he is to remove all the fat from it

on Leviticus 4:19-21

Verse 20 says the priest will make atonement on their behalf, and they will be forgiven. The pair falls again at verses 26, 31 and 35, and nowhere in the verses on the anointed priest's own offering.

The fat was the only part of the animal which was offered on the altar; for the carcass, with its appurtenances and offals, was carried without the camp, into the place where the ashes were deposited, and there consumed with fire.
