WASHINGTON — As a result of the shutdown of the Buckeye Pipeline due to severe flooding, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has exercised its authority under the Clean Air Act to temporarily waive certain federal clean gasoline requirements for parts of Pennsylvania. This waiver will allow greater flexibility for the fuel distribution system to support an adequate supply.
The waiver was granted by EPA in coordination with the Department of Energy, at the request of Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett. EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson determined that extreme and unusual supply circumstances exist, which are likely to result in a shortage. . .
