Joseph T. Burns: “I received a letter from the U.S. Trade Representative and the Administrator of EPA regarding the foreign refiner…”

On the recordSeptember 3, 1996
I received a letter from the U.S. Trade Representative and the Administrator of EPA regarding the foreign refiner baseline issue dated July 25, 1996. The letter provides additional comments regarding enforcement and states, ``EPA will not recognize individual foreign refiner baselines unless we have adequately addressed the issues of auditing, inspection of foreign facilities, and enforcement.'' It is my understanding the letter gives the administration's commitment to seek equivalent levels of enforcement for foreign refiners before allowing the access that these refiners desire to reformulated and conventional gasoline markets.
