(NAFB.com) – The administrator of the US Environmental Protection Agency says the most effective way to allow year-round E-15 sales is through Congressional action. Testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday, Lee Zeldin told lawmakers, “That is the most durable and easiest solution to this issue.” Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer said her bill, the Nationwide Consumer and Fueler Retailer Choice Act, will eliminate the emergency waivers that EPA has issued the last six years. “We need to pass a permanent solution and not have your agency go through this product every single year.” Zeldin said a permanent solution will allow his agency to be more efficient and focus on other issues.
