ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR PART 80 [FRL-5636-2] Petition by Guam for Exemption From Anti-Dumping and Detergent Additization Requirements for Conventional Gasoline AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency. ACTION: Notice of direct final decision.
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'' or ``the Agency'') is granting a petition by the Territory of Guam for exemption from the anti-dumping requirements for gasoline sold in the United States after January 1, 1995. This action is being taken because of Guam's unique geographic location and economic factors. EPA is not granting Guam's petition for exemption from the fuel detergent additization requirements that all gasoline sold in the United States after January 1, 1995 contain fuel detergents. If the gasoline antidumping exemption were not granted, Guam would be required to import gasoline from a supplier meeting the anti-dumping requirements adding a considerable expense to gasoline purchased by the Guam consumer. Guam is in full attainment with the national ambient air quality standard for ozone. This action is not expected to cause harmful environmental effects to the citizens of Guam.
Today's action is being taken as a direct final decision because EPA believes that this final decision is noncontroversial. The effects of this decision are limited to the Territory of Guam. DATES: This action will be effective on December 16, 1996 document, unless EPA receives adverse or critical comments by November 15, 1996. If the Agency receives adverse or critical comments, EPA will withdraw this action by publishing a timely notice in the Federal Register. In a separate action published today, EPA is concurrently proposing approval of the [[Page 53855]] gasoline anti-dumping exemption portion of Guam's petition for reasons discussed in this document.
