COURT DENIES CHALLENGE TO EPA E15 RULING
The full U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (DC Circuit)
said January 15 that it would not reconsider an August decision by a
three-judge panel of the court that tossed out a key challenge to the
Environmental Protection Agency's approval of gasoline blends containing 15
percent ethanol. The opinion rejects an appeal filed by trade groups
representing the food, engine and oil industries, including the American
Petroleum Institute. The DC Circuit ruled in August that the groups had no
standing to bring the lawsuit.
REGULATORY BRIEFS
Maine. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection is working on a
bill to ban gasoline blends made up of more than 10 percent ethanol, provided
at least two other New England states go along with the prohibition.
According to press reports, the legislation is not yet written and the
Department is still working on the final details.
Missouri. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Air Pollution
Control Program issued a
policy
memorandum January 8 that will allow gasoline dispensing facilities to
start decommissioning their Stage II vapor recovery systems beginning March
15, 2013. The Department is utilizing enforcement discretion in allowing
decommissioning prior to making regulatory changes to its vapor recovery
regulations and official approval of the necessary documentation by EPA. The
Department intends to hold a stakeholder meeting in the St. Louis area in
February to discuss potential changes to its regulations, as well as answer
questions and provide further guidance on procedures for Stage II removal.
The policy memorandum requires that a gasoline dispensing facility
decommission its entire existing Stage II system in accordance with all
applicable steps in PEI's Recommended Practices for Installation and
Testing of Vapor Recovery Systems at Vehicle-Fueling Sites
(PEI/RP300-09)
EPA: DIESEL FUEL SULFUR CONTENT OF 500 PPM OK FOR OLDER TRAIN, MARINE
ENGINES
The Environmental Protection Agency will allow the petroleum industry to
continue producing diesel fuel containing up to 500 parts per million sulfur
for use in older locomotive and marine engines beyond 2014, according to a
final rule EPA signed December 14. The 500 ppm fuel must be used in older
locomotive and marine engines that do not require 15 ppm sulfur diesel fuel,
EPA said. The use of 500 ppm fuel will be phased out as the older locomotive
and marine fleet turns over and is replaced with equipment that requires the
use of ultra low sulfur diesel fuel.
