Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to waive a Clean Air Act rule that limits how easily summer gasoline evaporates, measured as Reid Vapor Pressure. The waiver would cover May 1, 2026, through September 15, 2026. During that period, gasoline that exceeds the federal vapor pressure standard could be sold, supplied, transported, and dispensed. The standard is the one defined in existing federal regulations or any regulation that replaces it.
