Title: Requirements for Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) Under the 8-Hour Ozone Standard for Bump-up Areas Designated Attainment for the 1-hour Ozone Standard Prior to Revocation
Abstract: Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) is gasoline blended to reduce emissions that cause ozone smog. The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires certain areas to use RFG, depending on how serious is the ozone problem -- i.e., how far it is from attaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone. In some cases, areas that previously had a less-serious ozone problem subsequently experience worse air quality, and in such cases the Clean Air Act requires them to be "bumped up" to a higher category, thereby requiring RFG use. One complication is that the Agency is now implementing the transition from the previous ozone standard, based on the amount of pollution measured over a 1-hour period, to the new ozone standard, based on an 8-hour period. This rule would set regulations for such cases.
