U.S. EPA Extends Emergency Fuel Waiver for E15 Sales

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued an emergency fuel waiver to allow gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol (E15) to be sold during the summer season. This is an extension of the previous waiver issued on June 6, 2024. On June 26, 2024, EPA extended the E15 waiver to exceed the Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) requirements for gasoline that are detailed in the Clean Air Act Section 211(h)(1) by 1 pound per square inch (psi) from June 30 through July 29, 2024. The waiver only extends to areas within the contiguous United States where the 1-psi waiver currently applies to gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol (E10).
