    💰
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 5094
    Reading Time:about 48 minutes

    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a new rule focusing on the labeling of E15 fuel dispensers and the compatibility of underground storage tanks (USTs) with ethanol blends. The proposal includes potential changes to or removal of current E15 labels that alert consumers to the appropriate use of the fuel. Additionally, the EPA seeks to ensure that USTs can satisfactorily contain high ethanol blends and proposes rule revisions for future installations or component replacements to meet these compatibility requirements. Public comments on these proposals are invited, emphasizing efforts to adapt fueling infrastructure to evolving fuel standards while maintaining environmental safety.

    Simple Explanation

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants to change some rules about how gas pumps that sell special gas with more ethanol, called E15, are labeled to make sure people use it correctly. They also want to make sure the big tanks underground that store this gas are safe and can hold it properly, and they are asking people to tell them what they think about these changes.
