“Growth Energy supports modification of the E15 label requirement to increase clarity and ensure it adequately advises consumers of appropriate uses of the fuel, while not unnecessarily dissuading the vast majority of consumers whose vehicles can refuel with E15…. In addition, Growth Energy strongly supports EPA’s proposal to modify the underground storage tank (UST) compatibility requirements applicable to E15 and other fuel blends.
“There is ample support that a wide variety of fuel storage equipment, including USTs and related piping, may store E15 if it is suitable for use with E10. Removing unnecessary impediments to retailers’ use of such existing equipment is imperative to providing E15 equal footing in the fuels marketplace.”

On Tuesday, the D.C. Circuit Court heard oral arguments in
American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, et al. vs. EPA, a case in which oil refiners challenge the Environmental Protection Agency’s 2019 rulemaking that paved the way for the year-round sale of E15.
Growth Energy, the Renewable Fuels Association, and the National Corn Growers Association defended the rule and also argued in support of upholding the rule allowing the 1-psi Reid Vapor Pressure waiver that currently applies to E10 during the summer months. Under the finalized expansion in May 2019, E15 was allowed to be sold year-round without additional RVP control rather than just eight months of the year.

RFA, National Corn Growers, National Farmers Union, and the American Coalition for Ethanol won the lower court ruling against the retroactive waivers that they claim cost the industry more than four billion gallons in lost demand. The groups argued EPA lacks the authority to grant retroactive waivers in non-consecutive years, and the oil refiners suffered no economic harm since they simply passed along the biofuel costs to customers.
