**Regulation of Fuel and Fuel Additives: Modification to Octamix Waiver** 

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  On February 1, 1988, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conditionally granted a waiver requested by the Texas Methanol Corporation (Texas Methanol) for a gasoline-alcohol fuel, pursuant to section 211(f) of the Clean Air Act. 1 A minor correction was made on May 12,
1988. 2 A modification to the original conditions was made on October 21,
1988. 3 Baker Hughes submitted a request to modify the waiver. The new request seeks approval on an alternative corrosion inhibitor, TOLAD TM MFA– 10A, to be used within Texas Methanol’s gasoline-alcohol fuel, also known as OCTAMIX. EPA considers this to be a request for modification of the waiver under 211(f) of the Clean Air Act (Act).

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background

Section 211(f)(1) of the Clean Air Act (‘‘CAA’’ or ‘‘the Act’’) makes it unlawful for any manufacturer of any fuel or fuel additive to first introduce into commerce, or to increase the concentration in use of, any fuel or fuel additive for use by any person in motor vehicles manufactured after model year 1974, which is not substantially similar to any fuel or fuel additive utilized in the certification of any model year 1975, or subsequent model year, vehicle or engine under section 206 of the Act. The Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’ or ‘‘the Agency’’) last issued an interpretive rule on the phrase ‘‘substantially similar’’ at 73 FR 22281 (April 25, 2008). Generally speaking, this interpretive rule describes the types of unleaded gasoline that are likely to be considered ‘‘substantially similar’’ to the unleaded gasoline utilized in EPA’s certification program by placing limits on a gasoline’s chemical composition as well as its physical properties, including the amount of alcohols and ethers (oxygenates) that may be added to gasoline. Fuels that are found to be ‘‘substantially similar’’ to EPA’s certification fuels may be registered and introduced into commerce. The current ‘‘substantially similar’’ interpretive rule for unleaded gasoline allows oxygen content up to 2.7 weight for certain ethers and alcohols.

Section 211(f)(4) of the Act provides that upon application of any fuel or fuel additive manufacturer, the Administrator may waive the prohibitions of section 211(f)(1) if the Administrator determines that the applicant has established that the fuel or fuel additive, or a specified concentration thereof, will not cause or contribute to a failure of any emission control device or system (over the useful life of the motor vehicle, motor vehicle engine, nonroad engine or nonroad vehicle in which such device or system is used) to achieve compliance by the vehicle or engine with the emission standards to which it has been certified pursuant to sections 206 and 213(a) of the Act. The statute requires that the Administrator shall take final action to grant or deny an application after public notice and comment, within 270 days of receipt of the application.

The Texas Methanol Corporation received a waiver under CAA section 211(f)(4) for a gasoline-alcohol fuel blend, known as OCTAMIX, 4 provided that the resultant fuel is composed of a maximum of 3.7 percent by weight fuel oxygen, a maximum of 5 percent by volume methanol, a minimum of 2.5 percent by volume co-solvents 5 and 42.7 milligrams per liter (mg/l) of Petrolite TOLAD MFA–10 corrosion inhibitor. 6 In the OCTAMIX waiver, the Agency invited other corrosion inhibitor manufacturers to submit test data to establish, on a case-by-case basis, whether their fuel additive formulations are acceptable as alternatives to TOLAD TM MFA–10. 7 The physical properties of TOLAD TM MFA–10A are shown in EPA–HQ–OAR–2011–0894–
0002. II. Today’s Announcement

On October 14, 2011, Baker Hughes requested EPA allow the use of its alternative corrosion inhibitor, TOLAD TM MFA–10A, in the OCTAMIX gasoline-alcohol fuel blend which otherwise would not be allowed under the waiver. 8 TOLAD TM MFA–10A is a fuel additive formulation consisting of a corrosion inhibitor.

One of the major areas of concern to EPA in reviewing any waiver request is the problem of materials compatibility. Materials compatibility data could show a potential failure of fuel systems, emissions related parts and emission control parts from use of the fuel or fuel additive. Any failure could result in greater emissions that would cause or contribute to the engines or vehicles exceeding their emissions standards. Initially, Texas Methanol requested the use of TOLAD MFA–10 or an appropriate concentration of any other corrosion inhibitor such that the fuel will pass the National Association of Corrosion Engineer’s TM–01–72 (NACE RUST TEST). However, EPA concluded that compliance with the NACE Rust Test alone was not adequate in determining suitability of a corrosion inhibitor for use under the OCTAMIX

10 53 FR at 3637. waiver. 9 The Agency decided, therefore,to look at corrosion inhibitors on a caseby-case basis to establish whether each formulation would be acceptable as an alternative to the formulation of the original corrosion inhibitor used in the OCTAMIX waiver. 10

Therefore, pursuant to section 211(f)(4), EPA will examine the data submitted by Baker Hughes, along with all comments received from interested parties, to determine whether use of the corrosion inhibitor, TOLAD TM MFA– 10A, in place of the original corrosion inhibitor TOLAD MFA–10, would cause or contribute to vehicles or engines failing to meet their emissions standards when using OCTAMIX. If use of TXCeed does not cause or contribute to such failures, EPA will modify the OCTAMIX waiver to allow the use of TOLAD TM MFA–10A as an alternative corrosion inhibitor to TOLAD MFA–10.
