| 96-17549 | Registration of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Minor Changes to the Testing Requirements for Registration | Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'' or the ``Agency'') is issuing, as a direct final rule, minor changes to the health-effects testing requirements at 40 CFR Part 79, Subpart F. These requirements deal with the exposure of animals to evaporate and exhaust emissions from motor vehicles. The changes allow for increased flexibility in engine selection, correct an inconsistency with respect to mixing chamber quality assurance, establish clearer exposure timing requirements, provide a necessary option for the units in which emissions data are reported for heavy-duty vehicle engines, clarify oxygen purity requirements, make some minor syntax changes, clarify the handling of the measurements of background chemical species in the ambient air used by the engine generating emissions, clarify the driving schedules, clarify the exposure concentration requirements in the inhalation chamber, clarify dilution system requirements, and clarify the requirements for the collection of particulates and semi- volatiles. These changes will reduce the testing costs without affecting the environmental objectives. This action is being taken without prior notice because EPA believes that the minor changes in the testing requirements will be noncontroversial. The rule implementing the testing requirements was finalized on May 27, 1994 (59 FR 33042, June 27, 1994). The test data will be used by the Agency to determine if the emissions of certain gasolines and/or diesel fuels present an unacceptable risk to public health. For additional background information see the procedure in this issue of the Federal Register proposing changes to the registration regulations. The changes in this direct final rule have also been incorporated into that notice of proposed rulemaking. If an adverse comment or a request for a public hearing is received on this direct final rule, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and address the comment(s) in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. | 1996-07-11 | 1996 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1996/07/11/96-17549/registration-of-fuels-and-fuel-additives-minor-changes-to-the-testing-requirements-for-registration | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1996-07-11/pdf/96-17549.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'' or the ``Agency'') is issuing, as a direct final rule, minor changes to the health-effects testing requirements at 40 CFR Part 79, Subpart F.
