Business Impact Analysis (Summary)
This rule updates references to technical standards to the most recent editions of those standards without significant changes. This rule simply continues policies already in place in current rules or updates rules to conform to recent changes in the statutes. Except as noted below, this rule does not have an effect on small businesses.
Chapter
ATCP 113
— Gasoline Advertising, updating references to most recent standards may increase the enforceability of the rule. Chapter
ATCP 113
relies on nationally recognized standards for octane rating published by ASTM. However, the current rule relies on standards that are outdated and is, therefore, difficult to enforce. Updating the standards, as proposed in this rule, will improve the enforceability. By making it easier to punish any business that might mislead consumers about the octane rating or value, this rule should benefit honest sellers of gasoline.
This rule will benefit businesses that service mobile air conditioners. Under this rule, these businesses can service units that require the new refrigerant HFO-1234yf. This product was only recently approved by EPA.
