Bill Summary
A bill to amend the Clean Air Act with respect to the ethanol waiver for Reid Vapor Pressure under that Act, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2022, amends the Clean Air Act to address the ethanol waiver for Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP), which is a measure of fuel volatility. The key provisions are: 1) Existing waivers are clarified, allowing fuels or fuel additives that are substantially similar to those used in vehicle certification or meet the conditions of previous waivers (except for RVP limitations) to be introduced into commerce. 2) The RVP limitation is amended to apply to fuels containing 10% or more ethanol, rather than just 10% ethanol. This allows the sale of higher-ethanol fuel blends, such as E15, during the summer months when they were previously restricted due to RVP concerns.
