Bill > HR2823

This bill, titled the Gas Accessibility and Stabilization Act of 2013, aims to streamline fuel system requirements and expand waiver authority for the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Specifically, it amends Section 211(c)(4)(C) of the Clean Air Act to allow for waivers of fuel standards for up to 20 days if there are problems with fuel distribution or delivery equipment, and grants the Administrator the ability to extend these waivers beyond 20 days if conditions persist. Furthermore, it introduces a "presumptive approval" clause, meaning if the Administrator doesn't approve or deny a waiver request within three days of receiving it, the request is automatically approved. The bill also mandates a fuel system requirements harmonization study, updating the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to include biofuels in the study and changing the target year for the study's completion from 2008 to 2014, and also updates a reference from "Tier II" to "Tier III."
