The administrator says it will increase supply and lower the price of gasoline.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that Administrator Lee Zeldin has issued temporary emergency fuel waivers to increase the nation’s gasoline supply and help lower prices. The waivers, which were issued in consultation with the Department of Energy and in accordance with the Clean Air Act (CAA).
The agency explained, “Beginning on September 1, 2026, EPA’s waivers will allow the sale of E10, gasoline blended with 10 percent ethanol, at a higher Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP). This action will increase the domestic gasoline supply by hundreds of thousands of barrels per day by effectively ending the summer-blend gasoline requirement early.“
“Throughout this administration, EPA has taken decisive action like issuing RVP waivers to provide relief at the pump and fortify our gasoline supply chain,” said Administrator Zeldin. “We continue this work with our federal partners to increase supply and lower gas prices for all Americans.“
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Administrator Zeldin to be discerning in his oversight of the Environmental Protection Agency and the issuance of fuel waivers.
- For Secretary Chris Wright as he heads the Department of Energy and analyzes that nation’s energy needs.
