Notice of Availability: Response Document Denying the Ethyl
Corporation Petitions To Reconsider Three EPA Regulations: CAP 2000,
Heavy Duty Gasoline, and OBD/IM
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Availability of EPA decision denying the Ethyl Corporation
petitions to reconsider CAP 2000 regulation, heavy-duty gasoline
regulation, and OBD/IM regulation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Ethyl Corporation has submitted three petitions to the EPA
Administrator to reconsider three separate Agency rulemakings. The
first petition is regarding the compliance procedures for new motor
vehicles known as ``CAP 2000''. 64 FR 23,906. The second petition
pertains to emission standards and compliance procedures for new heavy-
duty gasoline engines. 65 FR 59896. The third petition pertains to the
use of on-board diagnostics for vehicle inspection and maintenance
programs. 66 FR 18156.
The Petitioner's issues with the heavy-duty rule are identical to
those of the CAP 2000 rule, and EPA agreed that its response would
cover both regulations. Although the issue for the OBD/IM rule is
different, EPA's response is included in accordance with a commitment
to do so made in that rulemaking.
This Notice serves to announce the availability of EPA's decision
to deny Ethyl's petition to reconsider all three petitions.
