New bill would change Clean Air Act rules for portable fuel containers and vehicle parts
The "Freedom to Fuel Act" would change how portable fuel containers, certain fuels, and specific vehicle parts are regulated under the Clean Air Act. This means they would not be subject to specific rules about air pollution (volatile organic compounds or VOCs) under that section. This could change regulatory requirements for manufacturers under this section, clarifying which parts of the Clean Air Act apply to these products.
Today, portable fuel containers, certain fuels, and vehicles can be considered "consumer or commercial products" under a specific part of the Clean Air Act, meaning they might be subject to certain air pollution rules under that section. If this bill becomes law, these items would be explicitly excluded from that definition, clarifying that they are regulated under other, more specific sections of the Clean Air Act.
