Code of Federal Regulations

Overview

40 CFR 1090.605 permits fuel used for national security purposes to be exempted from certain fuel-content standards under specified conditions.

Repeal relevance: Same mismatch pattern: fuel purity requirements are relaxed where national security is invoked, while civilian heavy-duty operators bear the full burden.
