TDLR Notice regarding Enforcement Discretion on RVP Requirements

TDLR is notifying industry stakeholders that it is exercising enforcement discretion for certain Reid Vapor Pressure, or RVP, requirements for gasoline and gasoline-ethanol blends.

During the period covered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency waiver, TDLR will allow the sale of gasoline with an RVP of up to 9.0 psi, or 10.0 psi when blended with 9 to 15 percent ethanol, to be sold throughout Texas.

This enforcement discretion is limited to RVP-related requirements only. All other applicable fuel quality, labeling, and measurement standards under Texas law and TDLR rules remain in effect.

Following the expiration of the EPA waiver, TDLR will continue this enforcement discretion for 45 days to allow suppliers time to readjust.
