The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced Tuesday it would "reconsider" air-quality regulations amid Texas's diesel price "disaster." The review comes after Abbott declared a statewide disaster over diesel prices Monday, allowing him to lift other restrictions on commercial transportation. He expanded the use of dyed diesel " untaxed off-road fuel typically banned on public roadways " on Texas roads and suspended Texas Low Emission Diesel rules to the federal government limit. "Record prices put both industries at risk and raise costs for every Texas family," Abbott said in a press release. Diesel costs nearly $6.40 per gallon on average nationally, according to AAA. The fuel cost roughly 84 cents less a month ago and about $2.76 less a year ago.
