Following Rep. Craig’s Push, Administration Allows Sale of E15 This Summer

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, following U.S. Representative Angie Craig’s push, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued an emergency fuel waiver allowing the sale of E15 nationwide this summer. The announcement comes after Rep. Craig and her bipartisan colleagues wrote a letter to President Trump urging the Administration to extend the Reid vapor pressure (RVP) waiver from June 1 through September 15, 2025.

“Today's announcement from EPA is great news for producers and consumers – and a step in the right direction toward codifying nationwide year-round E15,” said Rep. Craig. “I’ve got a bipartisan bill to lower prices at the gas pump by doing just that and it’s time to get it signed into law.”

In Congress, Rep. Craig has worked across the aisle for years to promote homegrown biofuels. 

Earlier this year, she introduced her bipartisan Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act to make year-round access to E15 permanent nationwide – expanding market access for Minnesota farmers and lowering costs for drivers at the gas pump. And in February, she led a bipartisan letter to newly confirmed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin, urging the Agency to prioritize biofuels as part of the Administration’s energy agenda.
