Evaluation of RFA/GrE Submission in Partial Fulfillment of 40 CFR 79 Tier 1 and Tier 2 E15 Registration Requirements.

摘要

In 2009, Growth Energy and 54 ethanol manufacturers submitted an application to EPA for a waiver under section 211(f)(4) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act). The application sought a waiver for gasoline-ethanol blends of up to 15 vol% ethanol (E15) for all motor vehicles and nonroad vehicles, engines, and equipment. On April 21, 2009, EPA published notice of receipt of the application and requested public comment on all aspects of the application to assist the Administrator in determining whether the statutory basis for granting the waiver request had been met (74 FR 18228).
