Not later than January 1, 2022, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall take such actions as are necessary to allow the use of a certification test fuel described in subsection
(b)for purposes of— testing and certification under section 206(a) of the Clean Air Act ( 42 U.S.C. 7525(a) ) of motor vehicles described in section 220(a) of the Clean Air Act (as added by section 301 of this Act); and testing and calculation procedures under section 32904(c) of title 49, United States Code, with respect to such motor vehicles. A certification test fuel referred to in subsection
(a)shall— have a research octane number of 98; and be blended by adding sources of octane value that meet the requirements of subsection
(c)to the low-level ethanol-gasoline blend test fuel used to certify model year 2020 light-duty vehicles. In carrying out subsection (a), the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall ensure that the sources of octane value for the certification test fuel allowed under subsection
(a)have average lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions, as determined by the Secretary of Energy using the version of the Argonne National Laboratory Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation (GREET) model in effect as of the date of enactment of this Act, that are at least 30 percent less than the baseline lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions. In this section: The term baseline lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions means the average lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions, as determined by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in consultation with the Director of the Argonne National Laboratory, for unblended gasoline sold or distributed as transportation fuel in 2018. The term lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions means the aggregate quantity of greenhouse gas emissions as determined by using the version of the Argonne National Laboratory Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation (GREET) model as in effect on the date of enactment of this Act. The term light-duty vehicle has the meaning given to that term in section 216 of the Clean Air Act ( 42 U.S.C. 7550 ). The term research octane number has the meaning given such term in section 201 of the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act.
