EPA Waiver decision the week of Nov. 12

The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to make a decision the week of Nov. 12 on which states will receive waivers from complying with the renewable fuel standard for ethanol in gasoline owing to the drought that has affected corn crops in most of the Midwest.

Larry Elworth, chief agriculture counselor to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, has said five states have asked EPA for waivers for ethanol in gasoline and one state has sought a waiver for biodiesel. Details of the pending decision are covered in an Oct. 3 article.
