Draft regulatory impact analysis: proposed refueling emission regulations for gasoline-fueled motor vehicles. Volume 1. Analysis of gasoline-marketing regulatory strategies

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5942477
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).
