SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is exploring opportunities to streamline
and modernize its existing fuels regulations under 40 CFR part 80 to
update EPA's existing gasoline, diesel, and other fuels regulations to
help reduce burden for stakeholders as well as EPA, while improving
overall compliance assurance and maintaining environmental performance.
EPA intends to achieve this goal in streamlining the existing fuels
regulations by: Deleting expired provisions, eliminating redundant
compliance provisions (e.g., duplicative registration requirements that
are required by every EPA fuels program), and replacing them with a
single set of provisions and definitions that would apply across all
gasoline, diesel, and other fuels programs currently under 40 CFR part
80.
The workshop will provide the opportunity for EPA to update
stakeholders on its progress regarding this streamlining of the
existing fuels regulations, and for stakeholders to provide initial
feedback as EPA develops its proposed rule.
Dated: April 25, 2018.
Christopher Grundler,
Director, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and
Radiation.
