This application seeks a waiver for ethanol-gasoline blends of up to 15 percent by volume ethanol (“E15″).

In this Notice, EPA is soliciting comment on all aspects of the waiver application, including whether a waiver is appropriate for ethanol-gasoline blends over 10 percent and less than 15 percent.
