Republican Senator Chuck Grassley said on Tuesday that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency must act quickly to allow year-round sales of higher ethanol gasoline blends if President Trump aims to keep a campaign promise to corn farmers, reports Reuters.
Trump announced during a trip to Iowa this month his intention to lift the summertime ban on sales of so-called E15 gasoline to help corn growers stung by slumping prices.
The EPA has since said it will finish deliberations on a proposal to lift the ban by May, a timeline the administration hopes will put the rule in place before summer. But Grassley said that was too slow.
