SUBJECT:  Meeting Summary
On December 10, 2010, EPA representatives met with representatives of the oil and ethanol industries and gasoline marketers at the request of several of those representatives to explore the possibility of conducting an E15 workshop to address various issues in potentially bringing E15 to market.   EPA representatives sought feedback on whether and when it would be useful to conduct such a workshop and the importance of active and good faith participation by stakeholders for such a workshop to be successful.  Representatives of the different industries described their varying perspectives on introducing E15 into commerce   However, there was general agreement that, to the extent E15 enters the market, a number of important infrastructure, liability and consumer education issues must be addressed to avoid misfueling and other potential problems, and that a workshop or work group might be useful for addressing those issues at some point.
