To amend the Clean Air Act to provide for a reduction in the number of 
                boutique fuels, and for other purposes.

    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 ``Gas Accessibility and Stabilization 
Act of 2011'' or the ``GAS Act of 2011''.

SEC. 2. REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF BOUTIQUE FUELS.

    Section 211(c)(4)(C) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7545(c)(4)(C)) 
is amended--
            (1) in clause (ii)(II), by inserting ``an unexpected 
        problem with distribution or delivery equipment that is 
        necessary for the transportation or delivery of fuel or fuel 
        additives,'' after ``equipment failure,'';
            (2) by redesignating the second clause (v) (relating to the 
        authority of the Administrator to approve certain State 
        implementation plans) as clause (vi); and
            (3) in clause (vi) (as redesignated by paragraph (2))--
                    (A) in subclause (I), by striking ``fuels approved 
                under'' and all that follows through the end of the 
                subclause and inserting ``fuels included on the list 
                published under subclause (II) (including any revisions 
                to the list under subclause (III)).'';
                    (B) by striking subclause (III) and inserting the 
                following:
    ``(III)(aa) The Administrator, after providing notice and an 
opportunity for comment, shall remove a fuel from the list published 
under subclause (II) if the Administrator determines that the fuel has 
ceased to be included in any State implementation plan or is identical 
to a Federal fuel formulation implemented by the Administrator.
    ``(bb) On removing a fuel from the list under item (aa), the 
Administrator shall publish a revised list that reflects that 
removal.''; and
                    (C) by striking subclause (IV) and inserting the 
                following:
    ``(IV) Nothing in subclause (I) or (V) limits the authority of the 
Administrator to approve a control or prohibition relating to any new 
fuel under this paragraph in a State implementation plan (or a revision 
to such a plan), if--
            ``(aa) the new fuel completely replaces a fuel on the list 
        published under subclause (II) (including any revisions to the 
        list under subclause (III)); and
            ``(bb) the Administrator, in consultation with the 
        Secretary of Energy, publishes in the Federal Register, after 
        providing notice and an opportunity for public comment, a 
        determination that the control or prohibition will not cause 
        any fuel supply or distribution interruption or have any 
        significant adverse impact on fuel producibility in the 
        affected area or any contiguous area.''.
                                 <all>
