Abstract
In this action, EPA is amending certain requirements of the reformulated gasoline (RFG) regulations which are applicable to California gasoline refiners, importers and oxygenate blenders. These amendments add flexibility with regard to test methods, sampling and testing requirements, and the use of gasoline that does not meet the oxygen requirement for Federal RFG in California areas that are not Federal RFG areas. EPA is taking this action in order to reduce the burden associated with overlapping California and Federal regulations. There is no expected adverse environmental impact from this final action.
