ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 80
[FRL-5513-3]
RIN 2060-AD55
 
Prohibition on Gasoline Containing Lead or Lead Additives for 
Highway Use

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




SUMMARY: EPA published a direct final rule and an associated notice of 
proposed rulemaking of the same title on February 2, 1996 (61 FR 3832 
and 61 FR 3894, respectively). Both actions were to revise EPA 
regulations to reflect the Clean Air Act's statutory prohibition of the 
introduction into commerce of gasoline containing lead or lead 
additives for use as a motor vehicle fuel after December 31, 1995. EPA 
received adverse comment on 40 CFR 80.24(b) as published in both the 
direct final rule and associated notice of proposed rulemaking. In 
response to that comment, EPA withdrew 40 CFR 80.24(b) from the direct 
final rule on March 4, 1996 (61 FR 8221). All other actions of the 
direct final rule became effective on March 4, 1996. In today's action, 
EPA is finalizing the revised 40 CFR 80.24(b) based on the February 2, 
1996 notice of proposed rulemaking.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This action will become effective on July 8, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Materials relevant to this rulemaking and written comments 
on the direct final rule and notice of proposed rulemaking have been
