Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Standards for Reformulated and Conventional Gasoline Withdrawal of Reformulated Gasoline Program Extension in Wisconsin

The Clean Air Act, as amended, directs the Administrator of EPA to apply the prohibition against the sale of conventional gasoline under EPA's reformulated gasoline (RFG) regulations in an ozone nonattainment area upon the application of the governor of the state in which the nonattainment area is located. On December 29, 1994, EPA issued a direct final rule (DFRM) extending the prohibition set forth in section 211(k)(5) of the Act to three moderate ozone non-attainment areas in Wisconsin, including those counties in the federal RFG program. EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule, because the governor has withdrawn the three counties from the federal RFG program.
