analysis of their ability to reduce ozone emissions to assist 
States in attaining established ozone standards under this 
Act, and on an analysis by the Secretary that the adoption 
of the Federal Fuels List will not result in a reduction in 
supply or in producibility, including that caused by a re-
duction in domestic refining capacity triggered by this 
clause. In the event the Secretary concludes that adoption 
of the Federal Fuels List will result in a reduction in sup-
ply or in producibility, the Administrator and the Sec-
retary shall report that conclusion to Congress, and suspend 
implementation of this clause. The Administrator and the 
Secretary shall conduct the study required under section 
1541(c) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 on the timetable 
required in that section to provide Congress with legislative 
recommendations for modifications to the proposed Federal 
Fuels List only if the Secretary concludes that adoption of 
the Federal Fuels List will result in a reduction in supply 
or in producibility. 
‘‘(III) Upon publication of the Federal Fuels List, the 
Administrator shall have no authority, when considering 
a State implementation plan or State implementation plan 
revision, to approve under this subparagraph any fuel in-
cluded in such plan or plan revision if the fuel proposed 
is not one of the fuels included on the Federal Fuels List; 
or to approve such plan or revision unless, after consulta-
tion with the Secretary, the Administrator publishes in the 
Federal Register, after notice and opportunity for public 
comment, a finding that, in the Administrator’s judgment, 
such revisions to newly adopt one of the fuels included on 
the Federal Fuels List will not cause fuel supply or dis-
tribution interruptions or have a significant adverse im-
pact on fuel producibility in the affected area or contiguous 
area. The Administrator’s findings shall include an assess-
ment of reasonably foreseeable supply distribution emer-
gencies that could occur in the affected area or contiguous 
area and how adoption of the particular fuel revision would 
effect supply opportunities during reasonably foreseeable 
supply distribution emergencies. 
‘‘(IV) The Administrator, in consultation with the Sec-
retary, shall develop a plan to harmonize the currently ap-
proved fuel blends in State implementation plans with the 
blends included on the Federal Fuels List and shall promul-
gate implementing regulations for this plan not later than 
18 months after enactment of this subclause. This harmoni-
zation shall be fully implemented by the States by December 
31, 2008.’’.

maximizes motor fuel fungibility and supply, pre-
serves air quality standards, and reduces motor fuel 
price volatility that results from the proliferation of 
boutique fuels, and to recommend to Congress such 
legislative changes as are necessary to implement such 
a system. The study should include the impacts on 
overall energy supply, distribution, and use as a re-
sult of the legislative changes recommended. The study 
should include an analysis of the impact on ozone 
emissions and supply of a mandatory reduction in 
the number of fuel blends to 6, including one Federal 
diesel fuel, one alternative diesel fuel blend, one con-
ventional gasoline for ozone attainment areas, one re-
formulated gasoline (RFG) meeting the requirements 
of subsection (k), and 2 additional gasoline blends

ozone nonattainment areas of varying degrees of se-
verity.’’.

(3) On April 10, 2006, the Secretary of De-
fense notified Congress that the United States would 
not meet even the extended deadline under the 
Chemical Weapons Convention for destruction of the 
United States chemical weapons stockpile, but would 
‘‘continue working diligently to minimize the time to 
complete destruction without sacrificing safety and 
security’’ and would also ‘‘continue requesting re-
sources needed to complete destruction as close to 
April 2012 as practicable’’.

program has met its one percent, 20 percent, and 
extended 45 percent destruction deadlines under the 
Chemical Weapons Convention.

United States chemical weapons is imperative for 
public safety and homeland security, and doing so by 
April 2012, in accordance with the current destruc-
tion deadline provided under the Chemical Weapons 
Convention, is required by United States law. 
(6) The elimination of chemical weapons any-
where they exist in the world, and the prevention of 
their proliferation, is of utmost importance to the 
national security of the United States.
