Farm groups urged EPA administrator Michael Regan to swiftly grant a waiver that would allow summertime E15 sales and offset disruptions in the global energy markets. Joe Gilson, American Farm Bureau Federation government affairs director, said the waiver helps provide consumers relief at the pump.
EPA granted Midwestern states a permanent waiver, but that does not take effect until 2025. That makes this summer waiver all the more important.
The coalition includes AFBF, Growth Energy, Renewable Fuels Association, National Corn Growers Association, National Farmers Union, and National Sorghum Producers. Gilson encouraged farmers to seek support for year-round E15 as well.
