ACTION: Final Cancellation Order for a Fuel Additive Registration. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The regulations for Registration of Fuels and Fuel Additives, were promulgated under the authority of sections 211(a), (b) and (e) of the Clean Air Act, as amended. These regulations require the registration by EPA of certain motor-vehicle fuels and fuel additives. In certain cases, the manufacturer of a registered product is required to conduct research and submit various health-effects data to EPA within prescribed time frames. Under section 211(e) of the Clean Air Act, EPA may cancel the registration of any fuel or fuel additive for which the registrant has failed to submit the applicable test reports within the prescribed period. Administrative procedures are afforded and EPA may not cancel the registration for an existing fuel or additive without affording the registrant/manufacturer notice, opportunity to submit the requisite test data, and opportunity for a hearing. This order cancels the registration of the Platinum GaSaver fuel additive for nonsubmittal of applicable test data. DATES: This final cancellation order is effective May 8, 2006.

You may obtain electronic copies of this Federal Register document electronically from the EPA Internet Home page under the Federal Register listings at https://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/. II. What Action Is the Agency Taking? Section 211(a) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act), authorizes the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency), to designate and require the registration of fuels and fuel additives (F/FAs) prior to sale or introduction into commerce. The EPA has designated gasoline and diesel F/FAs used in motor vehicles or motor vehicle engines for registration prior to sale or introduction into commerce. (See 40 CFR part 79 (1974).) Section 211(e)(1) mandates that EPA promulgate regulations requiring manufacturers of F/FAs ‘‘to conduct tests to determine potential public health effects of such F/ FAs,’’ and to furnish other ‘‘reasonable and necessary’’ information that identifies F/FAs emissions, and their effects on public health and welfare and vehicular emission control performance, as required by section 211(b)(2). Health effects tests are to be conducted according to procedures and protocols established by the Administrator. Further, section 211(e)(2) establishes a time limit by which manufacturers must comply with such test requirements. Additionally, under section 211(e)(3), EPA may exempt or make special exceptions for small businesses. In 1994, EPA promulgated regulations implementing sections 211(b)(2) and (e), which established additional registration requirements to those promulgated in 1974. (See 40 CFR part 79 (1994).) These regulations require certain manufacturers of F/FAs,as part of their registration responsibilities, to conduct health-effects tests on their products, and submit the information to EPA within certain prescribed time periods. Test requirements are organized into three tiers known as Tier 1, 2 and 3. Tier 1 requires analysis of the PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 combustion and evaporative emissions of F/FAs and a survey of existing scientific information on the public health and welfare effects of these emissions. Tier 2 requires manufacturers to conduct specified toxicology tests to screen for potential adverse health effects of the F/FAs’ emissions. Additional testing may be required under Tier 3 at EPA’s discretion. With regard to those F/FAs registered at the time of promulgation of the regulations, the requisite Tier 1 and Tier 2 information was required to be submitted by May 27, 1997 and May 27, 2000, respectively. (See 40 CFR 79.51(c)(1).) With regard to all new F/ FAs, i.e., F/FAs not registered at the time of our promulgation of the regulations and F/FAs that cannot be enrolled in the same testing group as F/ FAs that were already registered, the applicable public health-effects testing data were to be submitted prior to registration. (See 40 CFR 79.51(c)(2) and (c)(3).) The rule also makes special provisions for small manufacturers of F/ FAs as determined by certain financial factors, and grants them exemptions from certain test requirements. (See 40 CFR 79.58(d).) Small F/FAs manufacturers of F/FAs are manufacturers with either total annual sales of less than $50 million for baseline/non-baseline F/FAs or total annual sales of less than $10 million for atypical F/FAs. (See 40 CFR 79.58(d).) Small manufacturers of baseline/nonbaseline F/FAs are exempt from both Tier 1 and 2 requirements, while small manufacturers of atypical F/FAs are required to comply with the basic registration and Tier 1 requirements, but are otherwise exempt from Tier 2 test requirements. (See 40 CFR 79.58(2) and (3).) Small manufacturers must submit the applicable test data to EPA within the prescribed period described above. Additionally, the rule allows for the cancellation of any F/FA registration upon the Administrator’s determination of failure to timely submit the requisite test data by a manufacturer. (See 40 CFR 79.51(f)(6).) In general, the Agency must issue a notice of intent to cancel that affords such a manufacturer an opportunity to comply with the applicable requirement, submit written comments, or request a hearing on the notice of intent to cancel. On February 23, 1990 the Agency registered Platinum GaSaver, an atypical fuel additive manufactured by the National Fuelsaver Corporation. On May 27, 1997 the Tier 1 health-effects testing report (Tier 1 Report) for Platinum GaSaver became due. (See 40 CFR 79.51(c)(1)(vi)(A).) On December 2, 2004 E:\FR\FM\02MYN1.SGM 02MYN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Settlement

    Petitioner raised issues concerning: (1) Whether the statement in 
the preamble to the final rule that the BART Guidelines use the natural 
visibility baseline for the 20 percent best visibility days for 
determining a source's impact on visibility incorrectly characterized 
the provisions of the BART Guidelines; (2) whether it is acceptable 
under the BART Guidelines to undertake a pollutant-specific analysis 
when modeling the impacts from a single source; (3) whether a statement 
in the preamble to the final rule that international emissions are 
properly accounted for in the 5-year state implementation plan was 
intended to change EPA's views on the treatment of international 
emissions; and (4) whether, in making BART determinations, the States 
are required to consider any nonair quality environmental benefits from 
reducing emissions of visibility-impairing pollutants. Under the terms 
of the proposed settlement, EPA has agreed to execute two documents 
that provide guidance on the interpretation of the BART Rule and 
Guidelines.
    For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication 
of this notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to 
the proposed settlement agreement from persons who were not named as 
parties or intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the 
Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed 
settlement agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations 
that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, 
or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the 
Department of Justice determines, based on any comment which may be 
submitted, that consent to the settlement agreement should be 
withdrawn, the terms of the agreement will be affirmed.
