Ethanol for America Act of 2025
To require the Environmental Protection Agency to finalize a proposed rule with respect to E15 fuel dispenser labeling and compatibility with underground storage tanks with modifications, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency to finalize within 90 days a proposed rule on labeling and compatibility standards for E15 fuel, which is gasoline blended with 15 percent ethanol. The rule would establish labeling requirements for E15 fuel dispensers and deem existing underground storage tanks compliant with E15 fuel regardless of whether documentation of their compatibility is available. For tank compatibility, the rule would consider steel and fiberglass tanks manufactured after July 2005 as compatible with E15, and allow tank owners to replace only specific components if they can demonstrate partial compatibility. The rule would also require that any new or replaced storage tank components installed after the rule takes effect be compatible with fuel blends containing up to 100 percent ethanol to allow for future flexibility in fuel types.

(a) Definitions.—In this section:
(1) Administrator.—The term “Administrator” means the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
(2) Proposed rule.—The term “proposed rule” means the proposed rule of the Administrator entitled “E15 Fuel Dispenser Labeling and Compatibility with Underground Storage Tanks” (86 Fed. Reg. 5094 (January 19, 2021)).
(b) Finalization Required.—Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall finalize the proposed rule in accordance with this section.

(A) existing underground storage tank systems are deemed to be compliant with fuel blends with up to 15 percent ethanol, regardless of whether the owners or operators of those systems are able to locate installation or compatibility documentation for those systems;
(B) steel and fiberglass underground storage tanks manufactured after July 2005 and all fiberglass reinforced plastic piping are considered compatible with fuel blends of up to 15 percent ethanol; and
(C) if owners or operators of underground storage tank systems can demonstrate the compatibility of certain components of those systems (such as gaskets or seals) with fuel blends with up to 15 percent ethanol, those owners or operators are not required to replace other equipment to achieve full system compatibility.
(2) Future storage flexibility.—For purposes of ensuring that gasoline and diesel underground storage tank systems have future flexibility in fuel storage, the Administrator, in finalizing the proposed rule pursuant to subsection (b), shall require owners and operators of underground storage tank systems that store motor fuel for on-road vehicles to ensure that those systems and the components of those systems, including components such as pipe dopes and sealants, that are installed or replaced after the effective date of the proposed rule are compatible with fuel blends with up to 100 percent ethanol, regardless of the types of fuel blends currently being stored in those systems. <all>
