More than 25,000 comments received so far for EPA’s proposed E15 rule

In Washington, with less than a week left before the public comment period closes, more than 25,000 comments have been received on the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed rule to allow year-round E15 blending under the 1-psi Reid Vapor Pressure waiver. The proposed rule was published on March 21 and the agency expects to be able to take into account the comments submitted and have the final rule ready for implementation in time for the launch of the summer driving season in June, but doubts remain if it will be possible or if the final rule is rushed through if the comments will be considered before implementation.
