Registration of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Changes in 
Requirements, and Applicability to Blenders of Deposit Control Gasoline 
Additives

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.




SUMMARY: This document proposes several specific changes to regulations 
requiring the registration and testing of designated motor vehicle 
fuels and fuel additives (F/FAs) by their manufacturers. The objectives 
are to reduce the number of respondents, streamline program 
requirements, further ease small business burdens, and clarify some 
specific technical provisions in the existing registration regulations. 
Included in the proposed group of respondents no longer required to be 
registered as fuel manufacturers are those who solely blend deposit 
control additives into gasoline.
