November
2011 A new EPA
regulation requires additional language in all gasoline product transfer
documents (PTDs), or bills of lading, starting on November 1, 2011.
This requirement was included in EPA’s July 25 final rule relating to
misfueling of 10 - 15% ethanol blended gasoline. Most
provisions in the rule, including dispenser labeling and E-15 certification
requirements, will not go into effect until 2012 or later.
However, terminals must include specific ethanol and RVP content
language on all gasoline PTDs by November 1, 2011, regardless of whether the
gasoline is being blended with ethanol. The details of
the new requirements are available
here.
March 2011 On March 21, ILTA joined NPRA and WSPA in filing a
petition for judicial review in opposition to
EPA’s January 2011 decision to allow E15 for use in model year 2011-2006
passenger vehicles. This is
the second petition filed jointly by ILTA, NPRA and WSPA on the issue of a
partial waiver for E15. The
first opposed
EPA’s October 2010 decision to allow the use of E15 in model year 2007 and newer
light-duty vehicles.
Also during
March, Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Ben Cardin (D-MD) introduced a
bill proposing
to eliminate the federal government’s $6 billion ethanol subsidy.
The Congressional Budget Office also issued a
report stating
that the ethanol tax credit is no longer needed to ensure demand for domestic
ethanol production.
January 2011
On January 26, EPA approved the sale and distribution of gasoline containing
up to 15 percent ethanol (E15) for use in model year 2001-2006 passenger
vehicles, including cars, sport utility vehicles and light pick-up trucks.
This
expands the agency’s October 2010 decision to allow the use of E15 for use in
model year 2007 and newer light-duty motor vehicles. For additional information,
