Abstract
Under section 211(k)(6) of the Clean Air Act, as amended (Act), the Administrator of EPA shall require the sale of reformulated gasoline in an ozone nonattainment area classified as Marginal, Moderate, Serious, or Severe upon the application of the governor of the state in which the nonattainment area is located. On February 18, 1997, EPA issued a direct final rule (62 FR 7164) setting an effective date for the Phoenix ozone nonattainment area to be a covered area in the federal reformulated gasoline (RFG) program. In this action EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule because subsequent to publication, EPA received several requests for a hearing.
