EPA issues emergency waive to allow E-15 sales nationwide during summer months

WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency on Monday announced they were issuing an emergency waiver to allow the sale of E-15 nationwide during the summer driving season this year.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says the announcement shows President Trump’s commitment to farmers and the Renewable Fuels Standard.

The EPA says the emergency action will provide families with relief at the pump by increasing fuel supply and ensuring a variety of gasoline fuel blends from which consumers can choose.
