POSTED: JUL 20, 2009
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's public comment period on the E15 waiver request closes today, marking the EPA's decision-making period on whether to allow the base blend of ethanol and gasoline to be increased from 10 to 15 percent. EPA has until December 1 to rule on the waiver request filed on March 6 by a coalition of ethanol industry groups, corn ethanol producers, and cellulosic ethanol companies.
The American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE), the nation's largest ethanol advocacy association, has filed official comments with EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson on behalf of its nearly 1500 grassroots members nationwide. ACE's full comments can be read online at this link: http://www.ethanol.org/pdf/contentmgmt/ACE_Comments_to_EPA_on_E15_waiver_717.pdf.
In addition, ACE sent to the EPA the names of the nearly 7,000 people who signed the organization's petition in support of the approval of E15. Those who signed the E15 petition represent all 50 states, demonstrating the widespread support for ethanol among the American people. The full list of names can be viewed here: http://www.ethanol.org/pdf/contentmgmt/E15_petition_signatures.pdf
"Americans want to use more ethanol, and the number of people who have signed this petition in support of E15 demonstrates widespread grassroots support for ethanol," said Brian Jennings, Executive Vice President of ACE. "It is significant that the people listed here come from all 50 states, which shows that ethanol is not just a Midwestern issue. People all across the country recognize that Big Oil's monopoly at the pump must be broken and that more ethanol represents meaningful consumer choice."
