Title: Standards for Reformulated and Conventional Gasoline: Modifications | |
Abstract: Under authority of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, EPA promulgated regulations to require a cleaner burning reformulated gasoline (RFG) in nine mandated areas of the country with the worst ozone air pollution problems. These areas are designated as covered areas, (e.g., areas in which non-RFG (conventional gasoline) is prohibited from being sold or dispensed to the ultimate consumers of the gasoline. Other ozone nonattainment areas may opt-in to the RFG program upon petition by the Governor of the state in which the area is located. ^PSince the RFG program became effective in January 1995, many enforcement related issues have been raised concerning the implementation of the program. Some of these issues have required the exercise of enforcement discretion through the use of informal question and answer guidance documents. This action will codify those guidances which are appropriate for incorporation into the RFG regulations. This action will also streamline, the regulations where appropriate, and include certain typographical and other minor corrections. | |
