ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 80
[FRL-5501-2]
Adjustment of Reid Vapor Pressure Lower Limit for Reformulated
Gasoline Sold in the State of California
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this action, EPA is proposing to amend the lower limit of
the valid range for Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) for reformulated gasoline
certified under the simple model and sold in the State of California.
The lower limit is proposed to be changed from 6.6 pounds per square
inch (psi) to 6.4 psi. In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is promulgating this amendment as a direct final rule
without prior proposal, because EPA views this as a noncontroversial
action and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for
the proposed change is set forth in the direct final rule. If no
adverse comments are received in response to the direct final rule, no
further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If
EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn
and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent
final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second
comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on
this notice should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received by June 7, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this proposed action should be addressed
to Public Docket No. A-96-14, Waterside Mall (Room M-1500),
