Draft Regulatory Impact Analysis: Proposed Refueling Emission Regulations for Gasoline-Fueled Motor Vehicles. Volume 1. Analysis of Gasoline Marketing Regulatory Strategies

摘要

The gasoline marketing industry (bulk terminals, bulk plants, service station storage tanks, and service station vehicle refueling operations) emit to the atmosphere several organic compounds of concern. These include: volatile organic compounds (VOC), which contribute to ozone formation; benzene, which has been listed as a hazardous air pollutant based on human evidence of carcinogencity; and gasoline vapors, for which there is animal evidence of carcinogencity. The draft Regulatory Impact Analysis document is the first volume of a two-volume set that was prepared by EPA to fulfill the objectives of Title 3 - Executive Order 12291 (46 FR 13193, February 19, 1981) as they apply to future rulemaking on onboard control technology for controlling vehicle refueling air emissions. Volume I describes changes to an environmental and economic analysis published by EPA in 1984 (EPA-450/3-84-012a and b). Volume II summarizes the results of more extensive supporting analyses of onboard costs and benefits that were prepared in the course of developing the onboard rulemaking (EPA-450/3-87-001b).
