(2) Proposed rule.--The term ``proposed rule'' means the

(1) E15 compatibility.--In finalizing the proposed rule
pursuant to subsection (b) with respect to the compatibility of
underground storage tanks with fuel blends with up to 15
percent ethanol, the Administrator shall ensure that--
(A) existing underground storage tank systems are

installation or compatibility documentation for those
systems;
(B) steel and fiberglass underground storage tanks
manufactured after July 2005 and all fiberglass
reinforced plastic piping are considered compatible
with fuel blends of up to 15 percent ethanol; and
(C) if owners or operators of underground storage
tank systems can demonstrate the compatibility of
certain components of those systems (such as gaskets or
seals) with fuel blends with up to 15 percent ethanol,
those owners or operators are not required to replace
other equipment to achieve full system compatibility.
(2) Future storage flexibility.--For purposes of ensuring
that gasoline and diesel underground storage tank systems have
