                                 A BILL


 
   To amend the Clean Air Act to permit the exclusive application of 
California State regulations regarding reformulated gasoline in certain 
                        areas within the State.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. CALIFORNIA REFORMULATED GASOLINE RULES.

    Section 211(c)(4)(B) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7545(c)(4)(B)) 
is amended by adding at the end the following: ``If any such State that 
has received a waiver under section 209(b)(1) promulgates reformulated 
gasoline rules for any covered area of the State (as defined in 
subsection (k)(10)), the rules shall apply in the area in lieu of the 
requirements of subsection (k) if the State rules will achieve 
equivalent or greater emission reductions than would result from the 
application of the requirements of subsection (k) in the case of the 
aggregate mass of emissions of toxic air pollutants and in the case of 
the aggregate mass of emissions of ozone-forming compounds.''.
