 PUBLIC LAW 101-549—NOV. 15, 1990 104 STAT. 2493 may waive the prohibition contained in this subparagraph for a heavy metal (other than lead) if the Administrator determines that addition of the heavy metal to the gasoline will not increase, on an aggregate mass or cancer-risk basis, toxic air pollutant emissions from motor vehicles. "(3) MORE STRINGENT OF FORMULA OR PERFORMANCE STAND- ARDS. — The regulations referred to in paragraph (1) shall require compliance with the more stringent of either the requirements set forth in subparagraph (A) or the requirements of subparagraph (B) of this paragraph. For purposes of determining the more stringent provision, clause (i) and clause (ii) of subparagraph (B) shall be considered independently. " (A) FORMULA.— "(i) BENZENE.— The benzene content of the reformulated gasoline shall not exceed 1.0 percent by volume. "(ii) AROMATICS. —The aromatic hydrocarbon content of the reformulated gasoline shall not exceed 25 percent by volume. "(iii) LEAD.—The reformulated gasoline shall have no lead content. "(iv) DETERGENTS.—The reformulated gasoline shall contain additives to prevent the accumulation of deposits in engines or vehicle fuel supply systems. "(v) OXYGEN CONTENT. —The oxygen content of the > reformulated gasoline shall equal or exceed 2.0 percent by weight (subject to a testing tolerance established by the Administrator) except as otherwise required by this Act. "(B) PERFORMANCE STANDARD.— "(i) VOC EMISSIONS.— During the high ozone season (as defined by the Administrator), the aggregate emissions of ozone forming volatile organic compounds from baseline vehicles when using the reformulated gasoline shall be 15 percent below the aggregate emissions of ozone forming volatile organic compounds from such vehicles when using baseline gasoline. Effective in calendar year 2000 and thereafter, 25 percent shall be substituted for 15 percent in applying this clause, except that the Administrator may adjust such 25 percent requirement to provide for a lesser or greater reduction based on technological feasibility, considering the cost of achieving such reductions in VOC emissions. No such adjustment shall provide for less than a 20 percent reduction below the aggregate emissions of such air pollutants from such vehicles when using baseline gasoline. The reductions required under this clause shall be on a mass basis. "(ii) Toxics. —During the entire year, the aggregate emissions of toxic air pollutants from baseline vehicles when using the reformulated gasoline shall be 15 percent below the aggregate emissions of toxic air pollutants from such vehicles when using baseline gasoline. Effective in calendar year 2000 and thereafter, 25 percent shall be substituted for 15 percent in applying this clause, except that the Administrator may adjust such 25 percent requirement to provide for a lesser or greater reduction based on technological feasibility.
