Mandates that as part of such agreements the State and local agencies report octane rating labeling violations to the EPA.
Directs the EPA to transmit such violation reports to the Federal Trade Commission (the Commission). Requires the Commission to investigate each violation to determine whether a civil action to recover a civil penalty under the Federal Trade Commission Act is warranted. Establishes a civil penalty for octane rating violations under the Federal Trade Commission Act of a minimum of $5,000 and a maximum of $10,000.
