SEC. 3. REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF BOUTIQUE FUELS.

Section 211(c)(4)(C) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7545(c)(4)(C)) is amended as follows:

(1) By redesignating the clause (v) added by section 1541(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58; 119 Stat. 1106) as clause (vi).

(2) In clause (vi) (as so redesignated)--

(A) in subclause (I) by striking `approved under this paragraph as of September 1, 2004, in all State implementation plans' and by inserting in lieu there of `set forth on the list published under subclause (II) (or on the revised list referred to in subclause (III) if the list has been revised)';

(B) by amending subclause (III) to read as follows:

`(III) The Administrator shall, after notice and opportunity for comment, remove a fuel from the list published under subclause (II) if the Administrator determines that such fuel has ceased to be included in any State implementation plan or is identical to a Federal fuel control or prohibition promulgated and implemented by the Administrator. The Administrator shall publish a revised list reflecting the reduction in the number of fuels.';

(C) in subclause (IV) by striking `Subclause (I)' and inserting `Neither subclause (I) nor subclause (V)' and by striking `not' and by striking `if such new fuel'; and
