To amend the Clean Air Act to exclude a portable fuel container from the definition of a consumer or commercial product, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends the Clean Air Act to exclude portable fuel containers from the definition of "consumer or commercial product." The amendment clarifies that portable fuel containers, as well as fuels and fuel additives regulated separately under the Clean Air Act, and motor vehicles, are not covered as consumer or commercial products. This exclusion would exempt portable fuel containers from certain Clean Air Act regulations that apply to consumer and commercial products. The bill also maintains existing exclusions for fuels and motor vehicles from these product regulations.
