Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Proposed Minor Revisions to Selected Recordkeeping and Enforcement Provisions Under the Regulation of Deposit Control Gasoline Additives

Короткий зміст

EPA is proposing to revise certain requirements in its program for the use of detergent additives in gasoline. Under the current regulations, information on the oxygenate content of the gasoline must always be included in the required product transfer documents. To avoid unnecessary disruption to the gasoline distribution system, EPA is proposing to remove this requirement. A party who wants to use a detergent additive that is restricted in use with respect to oxygenates would be responsible for determining the oxygenate content of the gasoline involved. This proposal would continue to ensure that detergents with oxygenate restrictions are used in compliance with such restrictions, and would avoid the unnecessary disruption to the gasoline distribution system which would occur under the current regulations. For certain transfers of base gasoline, EPA is also proposing to allow the use of product codes in lieu of regulatory warning language concerning applicable limitations on the sale and use of such gasolines.
