Partial waiver excludes boats, creates significant risk of misfueling and widespread consumer confusion. Today, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced, as expected, limited approval for the sale of gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol (E15) for model year 2007 and newer motor vehicles. This decision excludes marine engines and other non-road engines such as snowmobiles, lawn and garden equipment, as well as other gasoline-powered small engines. The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), the trade association for the recreational boating industry in the U.S. and Canada, is concerned that EPA does not plan to take significant steps to address anticipated problems with consumer confusion and the risk of misfueling. EPA will also not take action to ensure compatible fuels remain available for the nation’s 13 million registered boat owners or the hundreds of millions of owners of gasoline-powered equipment.
