• Replaces the 10 percent ethanol limit in the Reid Vapor Pressure rules with a 10 to 15 percent range and allows E15 fuel to be introduced into commerce when it meets the other applicable requirements.
• Beginning in 2028, reduces the renewable fuel compliance requirements of small refining companies by 75 percent and bars new extension petitions for calendar years after 2027.
• Lets qualifying small refineries at imminent risk of closure, idling, or conversion petition for a one-year exemption, with petitions made publicly available within 30 days.
• Requires EPA to finalize, within 18 months, a rule on E15 fuel dispenser labels and underground storage tank compatibility.
