The official history states H.R. 1346 passed the House amended on May 13, 2026, then was received in the Senate and referred to Environment and Public Works on May 14, 2026.

The bill had advanced past the House but remained pending in the Senate as of the latest official calendar found, so year-round E15 had not yet been made federal law.

EPA said its May 19, 2026 waiver extension allowed a single national gasoline pool with 9 to 15 percent ethanol at a common 10 psi RVP from May 21 through June 9, 2026.

E15 availability was temporarily extended during the lookback window, but by agency waiver rather than a permanent law providing farmer certainty.

EPA issued a temporary emergency fuel waiver for nationwide E15 sales beginning May 1, 2026, initially through May 20, and noted the 20-day window is the Clean Air Act maximum.

The administration delivered temporary nationwide E15 access for summer 2026, but EPA characterized it as temporary and dependent on extensions, not a permanent statutory fix.

Van Orden said Congress was creating a Rural Domestic Energy Council to address year-round E15 and said he would fight until year-round E15 became law for Wisconsin farmers.

This shows a formal House mechanism and Van Orden's stated effort, but it also confirms the law-and-certainty outcome was still pending at that point.

EPA's 2026 waiver page says that on June 29, 2026, EPA renewed a waiver allowing production and distribution of a single national gasoline pool with 9 to 15 percent ethanol at a common 10 psi Reid Vapor Pressure standard. The page states the waivers share a 20-day effective window from June 30, 2026 through July 19, 2026.

During the lookback window, EPA extended temporary nationwide E15 access, but this was an emergency/temporary waiver rather than Van Orden's promised permanent law providing certainty.

This lookback-window extension kept E15 access temporarily available but did not make year-round E15 federal law.

Van Orden took concrete legislative action by voting for final House passage, supporting an effort badge, but House passage alone did not enact year-round E15 into law.
