| 00-22809 | Establishment of Alternative Compliance Periods Under the Anti-Dumping Program | Proposed Rule | The Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 ("the Act") directs the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA" or "we") to issue regulations requiring reformulated gasoline for major metropolitan areas with the worst ozone air pollution problems. Other areas with ozone levels exceeding the public health standards may voluntarily choose to participate in the federal reformulated gasoline program. In order to ensure that the "dirtier" components of reformulated gasoline are not dumped into gasoline sold in areas not participating in the reformulated gasoline program ("conventional gasoline" areas), the Act requires EPA to ensure that the quality of conventional gasoline does not fall below 1990 levels. The Act also mandates that we establish an appropriate compliance period or compliance periods associated with meeting the anti-dumping standards. Under the existing regulations for reformulated gasoline and anti-dumping, the compliance period is one year. However, we believe that in certain limited circumstances a longer conventional gasoline anti-dumping may be appropriate on a temporary basis. Such an alternative compliance period would be only appropriate for a refiner who produces conventional gasoline and who is starting up a refinery and facing significant hardship in complying with the anti-dumping statutory baseline NO<INF>X</INF> standard. Moreover, we believe that it would be appropiate for any refinery subject to an alternative compliance period to meet additional substantive and administrative requirements to ensure that there is no environmental detriment as a result of the longer averaging period. This notice of proposed rulemaking sets forth proposed procedures for establishing alternative compliance periods under the anti-dumping program and the proposed standards applicable to refineries operating under such compliance periods. | 2000-09-08 | 2000 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/09/08/00-22809/establishment-of-alternative-compliance-periods-under-the-anti-dumping-program | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-09-08/pdf/00-22809.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 ("the Act") directs the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA" or "we") to issue regulations requiring reformulated gasoline for major metropolitan areas with the worst ozone air pollution problems.
