EPA will release its proposed rule on the 2023 volume standards for biofuel under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) in September, the same timeline the agency negotiated in a court decision. The agency committed specifically to Sept. 16, but a regulatory agenda from the Biden administration lists the proposed plan as coming in September 2022 with a finalized rule in April 2023.
EPA has not yet determined a timeline for an effort to finalize options on E15 fuel dispenser labels that would modify the text and color of the label and then remove it entirely. EPA has also proposed requiring future underground storage tanks to be compatible with higher blends of ethanol and provide additional options for determining compatibility with higher ethanol blends for existing storage tanks.
