Published: Aug 14, 2012
Four states have asked the Environmental Protection Agency to aive a federal requirement for blending corn ethanol fuel with gasoline, a trade group representing the ethanol industry said Tuesday.
The formal waiver request from the governors of North Carolina, Arkansas, Delaware, and Maryland initiates an EPA review of the matter, the group, Growth Energy, said in a press release. The Obama administration has been facing pressure to waive the mandate in light of this summer's drought.
The EPA had no immediate comment, according to news wire reports.
