据路透社10月17日报道称，根据管理和预算办公室提交的文件显示，美国环境保护署计划在今年2月前发布其规则草案，允许全年销售更比例的乙醇 - 汽油混合物，并在5月份结束对该提案的审议。
总统唐纳德特朗普上周宣布，他打算取消夏季禁止销售所谓的E15汽油的禁令，这是美国环保署为减少烟雾而实施的。该公告标志着急于扩大玉米乙醇市场的农民取得了胜利，也被视为特朗普在11月的国会选举之前的政治胜利。
美国环保署的通知于周二晚些时候公布。
业内人士表示，环保署无权自行改变规则，特朗普需要国会通过一项法案法案，这可能需要数年时间。
拟议的规则将与对数十亿生物燃料信贷交易行业的限制相结合，旨在减少近年来导致信贷价格高涨的投机行为。根据RFS的规定，无法将生物燃料混入燃料中的炼油商须从竞争对手那里购买信用额度。
