Bill Summary
A bill to require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Secretary of Energy to conduct a fuel system requirements harmonization study, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the Gas Accessibility and Stabilization Act of 2013, aims to streamline fuel system requirements and expand waiver authority for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator. Specifically, it amends the Clean Air Act to allow the EPA Administrator to grant waivers for fuel standards for longer than 20 days if conditions supporting the waiver persist, and introduces a "presumptive approval" process where a waiver request is automatically approved if the Administrator does not act on it within 3 days. Additionally, the bill mandates a study on harmonizing fuel system requirements, expanding its scope to include biofuels and updating a reference from "Tier II" to "Tier III," and pushes back a related deadline from 2008 to 2014.
