                                 A BILL


 
 To amend the Clean Air Act to remove flammable fuels from the list of 
  substances with respect to which reporting and other activities are 
            required under the risk management plan program.

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

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Fuels Regulatory Relief Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that, because of their low toxicity and because they 
are regulated sufficiently under other programs, flammable fuels, such 
as propane, should not be included on the list of substances subject to 
the risk management plan program under section 112(r) of the Clean Air 
Act (42 U.S.C. 7412(r)).

SEC. 3. REMOVAL OF FLAMMABLE FUELS FROM RISK MANAGEMENT LIST.

    Section 112(r)(4) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7412(r)(4)) is 
amended--
            (1) by redesignating subparagraphs (A) through (C) as 
        clauses (i) through (iii), respectively, and indenting 
        appropriately;
            (2) by striking ``Administrator shall consider each of the 
        following criteria--'' and inserting the following: 
        ``Administrator--
                    ``(A) shall consider--'';
            (3) in subparagraph (A)(iii) (as designated by paragraphs 
        (1) and (2)), by striking the period at the end and inserting 
        ``; and''; and
            (4) by adding at the end the following:
                    ``(B) shall not regulate non-acute toxic flammable 
                fuels when used or stored for fuel purposes or retail 
                sale unless the fuels are hazardous waste.''.
                                 <all>
