Rep. Garret Graves proposed legislation on Tuesday to overhaul the rules for environment reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act for energy infrastructure. The pitch would form the backbone of a larger legislative energy package that House Republicans are planning to introduce in March.

Plus, EPA says it will propose allowing year-round sales of gasoline blends containing 15 percent ethanol in several Midwestern states.
