Eighteen Senators push EPA to approve E15 year-round

In Washington, U.S. Sens. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) and John Thune (R-S.D.) joined 16 of their Senate colleagues in writing to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt highlighting the benefits of year-round E15 sales. The letter comes weeks after the president indicated he supported such a waiver. Thune and Rounds want Pruitt to provide an expected timeline for an administrative Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) waiver, and they request that the agency allow for the sale of E15 during the upcoming summer driving season.
