GAO             United States
                General Accounting Office
                Washington, D.C. 20548

                Office of the General Counsel




                B-272425.1



                July 16, 1996

                The Honorable John H. Chafee
                Chairman
                The Honorable Max Baucus
                Ranking Minority Member
                Committee on Environment and Public Works
                United States Senate

                The Honorable Thomas J. Bliley, Jr.
                Chairman
                The Honorable John D. Dingell
                Ranking Minority Member
                Committee on Commerce
                House of Representatives

                Subject: Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Certification Standards for
                          Deposit Control Gasoline Additives

                Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on
                a major rule promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency, entitled
                Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Certification Standards for Deposit Control
                Gasoline Additives (RIN: 2060-AG06; FRL# 5528-5). We received the rule on
                June 28, 1996. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on July 5,
                1996. 61 Fed. Reg. 35309.

                This rule establishes a certification program for detergent additives used to control
                the formation of deposits in gasoline engines. This certification program requires
                the use of detergents in most gasolines used in the United States as mandated by
                the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and replaces an interim program which
                began on January 1, 1995. The final rule contains standardized test procedures and
                performance standards to ensure that detergent gasolines provide an effective level
                of protection against certain engine deposits.

                Enclosed is our assessment of the Environmental Protection Agency's compliance
                with the procedural steps required by sections 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5
