paragraph (2) will likely result in significant adverse
consumer impacts in 2005, on a national, regional,

(a) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any other provi-
sion of Federal or State law, no renewable fuel, as defined
by section 211(o)(1) of the Clean Air Act, or methyl ter-
tiary butyl ether (hereafter in this section referred to as
‘‘MTBE’’), used or intended to be used as a motor vehicle
fuel, nor any motor vehicle fuel containing such renewable
fuel or MTBE, shall be deemed a defective product by vir-
tue of the fact that it is, or contains, such a renewable
fuel or MTBE, if it does not violate a control or prohibi-
tion imposed by the Administrator of the Environmental
Protection Agency (hereinafter in this section referred to
as the ‘‘Administrator’’) under section 211 of such Act,
and the manufacturer is in compliance with all requests
for information under subsection (b) of such section 211
of such Act. If the safe harbor provided by this section
does not apply, the existence of a claim of defective prod-
uct shall be determined under otherwise applicable law.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to affect the
liability of any person for environmental remediation costs,
drinking water contamination, negligence for spills or
720
other reasonably foreseeable events, public or private nui-
sance, trespass, breach of warranty, breach of contract,
or any other liability other than liability based upon a
claim of defective product.
(b) EFFECTIVE DATE.—This section shall be effec-
tive as of September 5, 2003, and shall apply with respect
to all claims filed on or after that date.
SEC. 1503. FINDINGS AND MTBE TRANSITION ASSISTANCE.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) since 1979, methyl tertiary butyl ether
(hereinafter in this section referred to as ‘‘MTBE’’)
has been used nationwide at low levels in gasoline to
replace lead as an octane booster or anti-knocking
agent;
(2) Public Law 101–549 (commonly known as
the ‘‘Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990’’) (42
U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) established a fuel oxygenate
standard under which reformulated gasoline must
contain at least 2 percent oxygen by weight;
(3) at the time of the adoption of the fuel oxy-
gen standard, Congress was aware that significant
use of MTBE would result from the adoption of that
standard, and that the use of MTBE would likely be
important to the cost-effective implementation of
that program;
