   HOUSTON, TX (DTN) The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on 
Wednesday (3/25) an emergency waiver to allow nationwide sales of E15, the 
gasoline blended with 15% ethanol, to mitigate a potential disruption to U.S. 
fuel supply.  

   The EPA also removed all federal impediments to selling the E10, or regular 
gasoline blended with 10% ethanol, and waived restrictions on associated blends 
as well, the agency's administrator Lee Zeldin told a press briefing during the 
CERAWeek conference by S&P Global.

   "We are waiving federal enforcement of all state boutique fuel requirements 
for gasoline, allowing the production and distribution of gasoline with 9-to-15 
% ethanol content at a single common RVP standard of 10 PSI across the nation," 
Zeldin said.
