Petition by American Samoa for Exemption From Anti-Dumping Requirements for Conventional Gasoline

The Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA" or "the Agency") is proposing to grant a petition by the Territory of American Samoa for exemption from the anti-dumping requirements for gasoline sold in the United States after 1995. This action is being taken because compliance with the anti-dumping requirements is not feasible or is unreasonable due to American Samoa's unique geographic location and economic factors. If the gasoline anti-dumping exemption were not granted, American Samoa would be required to import gasoline from suppliers meeting the anti-dumping requirements, adding a considerable expense to gasoline purchased by the American Samoa consumer. American Samoa is in full attainment with the National Ambient Air Quality Standard ("NAAQS") for ozone. This action is not expected to cause harmful environmental effects to the citizens of American Samoa.
