DES MOINES, Iowa - Two state attorneys general have notified Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan of their intent to file suit over year-round ethanol.
The filing by the Nebraska and Iowa attorneys general comes after the agency delayed rulemaking on year-round E-15 sales in eight states, including our listening area.
The EPA took over 300 days to issue a proposed rule despite a Clean Air Act requirement to act within 90 days. Iowa's attorney general says the EPA needs to follow the law and make E-15 gasoline available year-round.
Earlier this year, the EPA approved the rule for year-round E-15 sales in those states, but delayed the rule's implentation until 2024. The attorneys also called on the agency to issue an emergency waiver for 2023.
