AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On February 22, 2006, the
EPA issued a direct final rule for the
removal of the reformulated gasoline
(RFG) oxygen content requirement and
the revision of the RFG commingling

direct final rule that if we received
adverse comment by March 24, 2006,
EPA would publish a timely withdrawal
notice in the Federal Register informing
the public that the portions of the rule
on which adverse comment were
received were withdrawn. We
subsequently received adverse comment
on the provisions designed to remove
the oxygen content requirement for RFG
and are, therefore, withdrawing those
provisions. We will address the adverse
comment in a subsequent final action
based on the parallel proposal
published on February 22, 2006 (71 FR
9070). As stated in the parallel proposal,
we will not institute a second comment
period on this action. The portions of
the direct final rule that are not
withdrawn (i.e., provisions relating to
the commingling prohibition) will

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Partial Withdrawal of Direct Final
Rule
EPA published a direct final rule for
the removal of the RFG oxygen content
requirement and revision of the
commingling prohibition to address
non-oxygenated reformulated gasoline
on February 22, 2006 (71 FR 8973), and
a parallel notice of proposed rulemaking
(71 FR 9070) also on February 22, 2006.
The direct final rule stated that if EPA
received adverse comment by March 24,
2006, EPA would publish a timely
notice in the Federal Register informing
the public that the portions of the rule
on which adverse comment were
received were withdrawn. We
subsequently received adverse comment
on the provisions designed to remove
the RFG oxygen content requirement.
Because EPA received adverse
comment, we are withdrawing the
following amendments to 40 CFR part
80 that were in the direct final rule and
which relate to the removal of the RFG
oxygen content requirement and
associated compliance requirements:
§ 80.2(ii) (definition of reformulated
gasoline credit);
§ 80.41(e), (f), (o) (q) heading and
introductory text, and (q)(1) (standards

§ 80.79(c)(1) (liability for violations of

exemptions for California gasoline);
§ 80.125(a), (c) and (d) introductory
text (attest engagements);
§ 80.126(b) (definition of credit

§ 80.130(a) (agreed upon procedures
reports);
§ 80.133(h)(1) and (h)(4) (agreed upon
procedures for refiners and importers);
and
§ 80.134 (agreed upon procedures for
downstream oxygenate blenders).
EPA published a parallel proposed
rule on the same day as the direct final
rule. We will address the adverse
comment on the above-listed sections in
a subsequent final action based on the
parallel proposal. As stated in the
parallel proposal, we will not institute
a second comment period on this action.
The provisions of the direct final rule
on which we did not receive adverse
comment will become effective on May
5, 2006, as provided in the February 22,
2006 direct final rule.

SUMMARY: On February 22, 2006, the EPA issued a direct final rule for
the removal of the reformulated gasoline (RFG) oxygen content
requirement and the revision of the RFG commingling prohibition to

final rule that if we received adverse comment by March 24, 2006, EPA
would publish a timely withdrawal notice in the Federal Register
informing the public that the portions of the rule on which adverse
comment were received were withdrawn. We subsequently received adverse
comment on the provisions designed to remove the oxygen content
requirement for RFG and are, therefore, withdrawing those provisions.
We will address the adverse comment in a subsequent final action based
on the parallel proposal published on February 22, 2006 (71 FR 9070).
As stated in the parallel proposal, we will not institute a second
comment period on this action. The portions of the direct final rule
that are not withdrawn (i.e., provisions relating to the commingling
prohibition) will

content requirement and revision of the commingling prohibition to
address non-oxygenated reformulated gasoline on February 22, 2006 (71
FR 8973), and a parallel notice of proposed rulemaking (71 FR 9070)

received adverse comment by March 24, 2006, EPA would publish a timely
notice in the Federal Register informing the public that the portions
of the rule on which adverse comment were received were withdrawn. We
subsequently received adverse comment on the provisions designed to
remove the RFG oxygen content requirement. Because EPA received adverse
comment, we are withdrawing the following amendments to 40 CFR part 80
that were in the direct final rule and which relate to the removal of
the RFG oxygen content requirement and associated compliance
requirements:

Sec. 80.133(h)(1) and (h)(4) (agreed upon procedures for refiners
and importers); and
Sec. 80.134 (agreed upon procedures for downstream oxygenate
blenders).
EPA published a parallel proposed rule on the same day as the
direct final rule. We will address the adverse comment on the above-
listed sections in a subsequent final action based on the parallel
proposal. As stated in the parallel proposal, we will not institute a
second comment period on this action.
The provisions of the direct final rule on which we did not receive
adverse comment will become effective on May 5, 2006, as provided in
the February 22, 2006 direct final rule.
