On Jan. 26, 2011 EPA issued a notice in the Federal Register at 76 FR 4662 announcing that they are granting a partial waiver allowing fuel and fuel additive manufacturers to introduce into commerce gasoline that contains greater than 10 volume percent ethanol and no more than 15 volume percent ethanol (E15) for use in model year 2001 through 2006 light-duty motor vehicles, if certain conditions are fulfilled. In October of 2010, EPA granted a partial waiver for E15 for use in MY2007 and newer light-duty motor vehicles subject to the same conditions. Taken together, the two waiver decisions allow the introduction into commerce of E15 for use in MY2001 and newer light-duty motor vehicles if those conditions are met.
