OPEI - EPA Enforcement Discussion at GIE+EXPO
A complimentary seminar will take place from noon until 1:30pm on October 28th at GIE+EXPO in Louisville, KY. Top Enforcement Officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), OPEI staff & counsel will discuss enforcement priorities and recommended controls and practices to help achieve full compliance. This event will be held in Room C203 on the upper level of the EXPO Hall. At the end of the discussion, OPEI staff & counsel will discuss EPA's and the industry's proactive efforts to warn consumers so that they don’t illegally misfuel their products with midlevel ethanol (i.e. E-15) - which can result in violations of the Clean Air Act as well as damage to the products. OPEI has recently developed guidance, following consultations with the EPA, to help manufacturers ensure that tamper-resistant mechanisms to limit carburetor adjustability are compliant with federal law.
