Summary:

This regulatory action repeals 2VAC5-420, Regulations for the Enforcement of the Virginia Gasoline and Motor Fuel Law. The regulation prescribes certain requirements for the enforcement of the Virginia Motor Fuels and Lubricating Oils Law (Chapter 12 (§ 59.1-149 et seq.) of Title 59.1 of the Code of Virginia), including specifications for the inspection and testing of motor fuels. Chapter 650 of the 2009 Acts of Assembly amended the Motor Fuels and Lubricating Oils Law by incorporating by reference certain national inspection and testing specifications for motor fuels. Given that the essential elements of the regulation have now been incorporated by reference into the Virginia Motor Fuels and Lubricating Oils Law, the regulation is no longer needed and is repealed.
