The Clean Air Act prohibits the introduction of gasoline containing lead or lead additives into commerce for use as a motor vehicle fuel after December 31, 1995. In today's action, EPA revises its regulations regarding gasoline so as to prohibit the introduction of gasoline which is produced with the use of any lead additive, or contains more than 0.05 gram of lead per gallon, into commerce for use as motor vehicle fuel effective January 1, 1996, remove existing regulatory provisions which will no longer be necessary as a result of this ban, and modify other provisions to reflect the institution of this ban. Among the provisions deleted are recordkeeping and reporting requirements for refiners and importers, and the requirement that motor vehicle manufacturers place ``unleaded fuel only'' labels on the dashboard and on or around the fuel filler inlet area of each motor vehicle produced. EPA believes that continuance of the provisions deleted by this rule would pose needless costs on industry in light of the ban. In the proposed rules Section of today's Federal Register, EPA is proposing to issue a regulatory ban on the introduction of gasoline which is produced with the use of any lead additive, or contains more than 0.05 gram of lead per gallon, into commerce for use as a motor vehicle fuel effective January 1, 1996, and to remove existing regulatory provisions which will no longer be necessary as a result of this ban, and modify other provisions to reflect the institution of this ban. If adverse comment or a request for an opportunity for a public hearing is received on this direct final rule, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and address the comments received in a subsequent final rule on the related proposed rule. No additional opportunity for public comment on the leaded gasoline prohibition and related regulatory changes will be provided. The statutory ban goes into effect as of January 1, 1996, whether or not EPA amends its regulations by January 1, 199
