Sec. 79.31  Additives.

    (a) All additives produced or sold for use in motor vehicle gasoline 
and/or motor vehicle diesel fuel are hereby designated. The Act defines 
the term ``motor vehicle'' to mean any self-propelled vehicle designed 
for transporting persons or property on a street or highway. For 
purposes of this registration, however, additives specifically 
manufactured and marketed for use in motorcycle fuels are excluded.
    (b) All designated additives must be registered by July 7, 1976.
    (c) In accordance with Secs. 79.5(b) and 79.21(e), and to the extent 
such information is known to the additive manufacturer as a result of 
testing conducted for reasons other than additive registration or 
reporting purposes, the additive manufacturer shall furnish the highest, 
lowest, and average values of the impurities in each designated 
additive, if greater than 0.1 percent by weight. The methods of analysis 
in making the determinations shall also be given.
    (d) In accordance with Secs. 79.5(b) and 79.21(e), and to the extent 
such information is known to the additive manufacturer, he shall furnish 
summaries of any information developed by or specifically for him 
concerning the following items:
    (1) Mechanisms of action of the additive;
    (2) Reactions between the additive and the fuels listed in paragraph 
(a) of this section;
    (3) Identification and measurement of the emission products of the 
additive when used in the fuels listed in paragraph (a) of this section;
    (4) Effects of the additive on all emissions;
    (5) Toxicity and any other public health or welfare effects of the 
emission products of the additive;
    (6) Effects of the emission products of the additive on the 
performance of emission control devices/systems. Such submissions shall 
be accompanied by a description of the test procedures used in obtaining 
the information. Information will be considered to be known to the 
additive manufacturer if a report thereon has been prepared and 
circulated or distributed outside the research department or division.
