{"abstract":"EPA is seeking comment on two alternative proposals regarding reformulated gasoline requirements for an area formerly classified as a severe ozone nonattainment area under the 1-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (\"NAAQS\" or \"standard\") that was redesignated to attainment for that standard before its revocation, and which is currently designated as nonattaiment for the 8-hour ozone standard. Under the first option, this area would be required to use federal reformulated gasoline (RFG) at least until it is redesignated to attainment for the 8-hr NAAQS. Under the second option, the State could request the removal of RFG, and EPA would grant such a request upon a demonstration that removal would not result in loss of any RFG-related emission reductions relied upon in the State's Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone. Atlanta is the only area that falls within the scope of this proposal.","action":"Notice of proposed rulemaking.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2006/06/23/06-5620.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":80,"title":40}],"citation":"71 FR 36042","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2006-08-22","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments: All public comments must be received on or before August 22, 2006.
