Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oversight of the Reformulated Gasoline Rule: Hearing Before the Committee on Environment and Public Works, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, April 22, 1994 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:06 a.m. in room 406, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Max Baucus [chairman of the committee] presiding. Present: Senators Baucus, Wofford, and Lieberman. Opening Statement of Hon. Max Baucus, U.S. Senator from the State of Montana Senator Baucus. The hearing will come to order. Today this committee is conducting an oversight hearing on the development of an important Federal Clean Air rule and negotiations to soften the rule for Venezuela, a major supplier of imported gasoline to the United States. This is a complicated matter involving senior officials at the White House, State Department, Environmental Protection Agency and the Office of the United States Trade Representative. It is also an extremely serious matter, because I believe the committee has uncovered evidence that the Administration made a secret, environmentally unsound, agreement with Venezuela and is attempting to minimize the public health consequences of the deal. At issue is a rule to enforce new provisions of the Clean Air Act intended to reduce deadly chemicals threatening public health in sections of the country where tens of millions of Americans live. The public and internal documents obtained by the committee show that EPA acted diligently and responsibly to develop and issue the reformulated gasoline rule. EPA designed the rule to prevent Venezuela, which had not adopted the environmentally sound technology used by United States refineries, from exporting gasoline which would contain much higher levels of toxic chemicals than domestic gasoline. Venezuela was unhappy. I believe the EPA, the State Department, and the USTR thoughtfully considered Venezuelan grievances during this period. At first EPA did not acquiesce to Venezuela´s demand for special treatment, because agency officials decided that doing so would create adverse health consequences. But after the rule was issued on December 15, 1993, a chain of troubling events ensued, raising a number of questions that I intend to have answered today.
