NCGA Submits Fueling Regulations Comments to EPA
USAgNet - 07/06/2020
The National Corn Growers Association this week submitted comments to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the Agency's Fuels Regulatory Streamlining proposed rule to update and streamline certain fuel regulations.
Clear and objective regulations around the manufacture and sale of fuels, including existing E85 for use in flex-fuel vehicles, E15, and future mid-level ethanol blends, are important to corn growers.
NCGA President Kevin Ross asked EPA to ensure proposed changes to the definition of gasoline do not add new and unnecessary regulatory burdens for E85, keep pathways to higher ethanol blends open, and build on the successful rule for year-round E15
by addressing additional regulatory barriers to expanding E15 sales.
Ross urged EPA to, "follow through and take action to update E15 labeling and equipment certification requirements. Streamlining E15 labeling and certifying current E10 equipment for E15 would support more retailers offering this fuel to consumers," he wrote.
