SEC. 5__3. RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF MTBE.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) since 1979, methyl tertiary butyl ether (referred to in
this section 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 oxygenate
standard, Congress was aware that--
(A) significant use of MTBE could result from the adoption
of that standard; and
(B) the use of MTBE would likely be important to the cost-
effective implementation of that standard;
(4) Congress is aware that gasoline and its component
additives have leaked from storage tanks, with consequences
for water quality;
(5) the fuel industry responded to the fuel oxygenate
standard established by Public Law 101-549 by making
substantial investments in--
(A) MTBE production capacity; and
(B) systems to deliver MTBE-containing gasoline to the
marketplace;
(6) when leaked or spilled into the environment, MTBE may
cause serious problems of drinking water quality;
(7) in recent years, MTBE has been detected in water
sources throughout the United States;
(8) MTBE can be detected by smell and taste at low
concentrations;
(9) while small quantities of MTBE can render water
supplies unpalatable, the precise human health effects of
MTBE consumption at low levels are yet unknown as of the date
of enactment of this Act;
(10) in the report entitled ``Achieving Clean Air and Clean
Water: The Report of the Blue Ribbon Panel on Oxygenates in
Gasoline'' and dated September 1999, Congress was urged--
(A) to eliminate the fuel oxygenate standard;
(B) to greatly reduce use of MTBE; and
(C) to maintain the environmental performance of
reformulated gasoline;
(11) Congress has--
(A) reconsidered the relative value of MTBE in gasoline;
and
(B) decided to eliminate use of MTBE as a fuel additive;
(12) the timeline for elimination of use of MTBE as a fuel
additive must be established in a manner that achieves an
appropriate balance among the goals of--
(A) environmental protection;
(B) adequate energy supply; and
(C) reasonable fuel prices; and
(13) it is appropriate for Congress to provide some limited
transition assistance--
(A) to merchant producers of MTBE who produced MTBE in
response to a market created by the oxygenate requirement
contained in the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.); and
(B) for the purpose of mitigating any fuel supply problems
that may result from elimination of a widely-used fuel
additive.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are--
(1) to eliminate use of MTBE as a fuel oxygenate; and
(2) to provide assistance to merchant producers of MTBE in
making the transition from producing MTBE to producing other
fuel additives.
(c) Authority for Water Quality Protection From Fuels.--
Section 211(c) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7545(c)) is
amended--

``Administrator any''; and
(B) by striking ``air pollution which'' and inserting ``air
pollution, or water pollution, that'';

consultation with the Secretary of Energy, determines that
transition assistance for the production of iso-octane or
alkylates is inconsistent with the criteria specified in
subparagraph (B); and

in effect on the day before the date of enactment of this Act
concerning the authority of States to limit the use of methyl
tertiary butyl ether in motor vehicle fuel.
