Removal of Requirement in Gasoline Deposit Control Additives Rule Regarding the Identification of the Oxygenate Content of Transferred Gasoline

EPA is amending the gasoline deposit control additives program, (the ``detergent rule'') to remove the requirement that certain information on the oxygenate content of transferred gasoline must be included in the gasoline's product transfer document. EPA is taking this action to avoid unnecessary disruption to the gasoline distribution system and because the Agency believes that it will result in no negative environmental impact. In the proposed rules section of today's Federal Register, EPA is proposing the same action covered by this direct final rule (i.e., to amend the detergent rule to remove the requirement that certain information on the oxygenate content of transferred gasoline must be included in the gasoline's product transfer document), as well as several other actions impacting the detergent rule. If adverse comment or a request 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 this removal of certain detergent rule product transfer document oxygenate information will be provided.
