SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is exploring opportunities to streamline 
and modernize its existing fuels regulations under 40 CFR part 80 to 
update EPA's existing gasoline, diesel, and other fuels regulations to 
help reduce burden for stakeholders as well as EPA, while improving 
overall compliance assurance and maintaining environmental performance. 
EPA intends to achieve this goal in streamlining the existing fuels 
regulations by: Deleting expired provisions, eliminating redundant 
compliance provisions (e.g., duplicative registration requirements that 
are required by every EPA fuels program), and replacing them with a 
single set of provisions and definitions that would apply across all 
gasoline, diesel, and other fuels programs currently under 40 CFR part 
80.
    The workshop will provide the opportunity for EPA to update 
stakeholders on its progress regarding this streamlining of the 
existing fuels regulations, and for stakeholders to provide initial 
feedback as EPA develops its proposed rule.

    Dated: April 25, 2018.
Christopher Grundler,
Director, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and 
Radiation.
