## Summary

**Finalize E15 fuel labeling and lock in underground storage tank compatibility rules.** This bill would require the Environmental Protection Agency to finalize its 2021 proposed rule on E15 fuel dispenser labeling within 90 days and to define which existing tanks and components count as compatible with blends up to 15 percent. It would also require that components installed or replaced after the rule takes effect be compatible with fuel blends up to 100 percent ethanol. - Fuel station owners and operators: Many existing underground storage tank systems would be treated as compatible with up to 15 percent ethanol even if installation or compatibility paperwork cannot be found. Steel and fiberglass tanks manufactured after July 2005 and all fiberglass reinforced plastic piping are specified as compatible. - Owners who can demonstrate that parts such as gaskets or seals are compatible with up to 15 percent ethanol would not be forced to replace other equipment to achieve full system compatibility. - Future installers and equipment makers: Any piping, sealants, or components installed or replaced after the rule's effective date would need to be compatible with blends up to 100 percent ethanol.
