Fuel Waiver Response 2006

EmailGet email when we update fuel waiver information

EPA, working with the Department of Energy, responds quickly to address fuel supply disruptions caused by, for example, refinery or pipeline infrastructure damage as the result of a hurricane or other natural disaster, by issuing emergency waivers of certain fuel standards in affected areas. When issued, these temporary waivers are necessary to help ensure that an adequate supply of fuel is available, particularly for emergency vehicle needs.

EPA and DOE continue to monitor the status of the nation’s fuel supply. This page is updated as new emergency fuel waivers are issued.

On July 25, EPA issued a waiver through September 3, concerning Meto-East St. Louis area RVP requirements. Fuel Waiver concerning Meto-East St. Louis (PDF) (pp 2, 355K, About PDF)
