Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Texas; Revisions to Reid Vapor Pressure Requirements for Gasoline

Riepilogo

EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by Texas on October 4, 2001. The revisions pertain to Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) requirements for gasoline. The revisions add exemptions to RVP requirements for research laboratories and academic institutions, competition racing, and gasoline that is being stored or transferred that is not used in the affected counties. The revisions also reduce record keeping requirements for retail gasoline dispensing outlets in the affected counties, and correct a typographical error. We are proposing approval of the revisions pursuant to section 110 and part D of the Federal Clean Air Act.
