White House finishes review of ethanol draft rule

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The White House has finished a review of a rule that aims to cut emissions from alternative motor fuels like ethanol, federal environmental regulators said on Thursday.

The Office of Management and Budget has completed the review of the Environmental Protection Agency’s rule and “we will determine what further action to take,” the EPA said in a prepared statement.

The action occurred on Wednesday, a government Web site showed.

The EPA would not reveal details of the rule and would not say when it would be made public.
