            (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) Removal of fuels from
