US Govt waives clean air rules for gasoline, diesel
The Bush administration said on Wednesday it will waive for all 50 U.S. states certain federal environmental regulations through September 15 for gasoline and diesel due to a disruption in supplies caused by Hurricane Katrina.
"These waivers are necessary to see that fuel is available throughout the country," said Stephen Johnson, head of the
Environmental Protection Agency.
The waivers will allow gasoline with higher evaporation rates and diesel fuel with a higher sulfur content to be sold.
