Are distributors who deliver conventional gasoline to retailers and wholesale purchaser-consumers in non-RFG areas required to fulfill the PTD requirements, including the statement in § 80.106(a)(1)(vii)? Do retailers and wholesale purchaser-consumers in
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The PTD requirements of § 80.106 apply to all distributors of conventional gasoline. However, because the PTD requirements are of little value concerning the delivery of conventional gasoline to a retailer or wholesale purchaser-consumer (or smaller purchaser with…

At an in-line blending facility, a portion of batch A is captured in an empty storage tank and not immediately shipped. Then a portion of batch C is added to that tank and the combined mixture is shipped. How do the records show compliance with reformulat
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Batches A and C will be certified separately based on the results from the composite sample analyses for each of these batches (unless EPA has approved another method of sampling for a particular refiner). Since product transfer documents…

A refinery has two product tanks in series; a 10,000 gallon tank in which blendstocks are combined to produce gasoline (a blend tank), followed by a 50,000 gallon tank which feeds directly to the rack. Customers pull product from the rack. There are no bl
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The refiner should certify the properties of each batch produced in the 10,000 gallon blend tank based on a sample of gasoline collected after all the blending components have been added and mixed. The volume of each batch…

Confirm that the attester will designate what is required to turn over a tank from one service to another, and how the barrels should be counted; i.e., from RBOB to conventional, or 3.5 wt% RBOB to 2.7 wt% RBOB.
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The attester will not designate products for the party subject to the attestation engagement requirement. The function of the attestation engagement is to provide an independent analysis of the designations made by the regulated party. The designation of…

A procedure has been outlined by the EPA for the certification of oxygen content by meter for the oxyfuel program. Can this method be used for certification of oxygen content in reformulated gasoline? Is an exemption for in-line blending required?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . No. The regulatory method for oxygen testing, or the approved temporary method discussed in question 39, must be used for certification of reformulated gasoline produced at the refinery and also for blending oxygenate with RBOB. For further discussion…

Can bulk terminals located in covered areas receive conventional gasoline that is intended to be distributed to non-RFG areas?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Distributors, including bulk plants, located in covered areas may receive and distribute conventional gasoline to non-RFG areas, assuming all of the requirements of the regulations are met, including segregation of conventional gasoline from RFG, and the product transfer…

Section 80.101(i) provides a composite sampling and testing option to determine conventional gasoline properties. One provision to this option is that composite samples will need to be prepared as described in § 80.91(d)(4)(iii). Part B of this procedure
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The best process would be to avoid the butane adjustment by blending the fuels in such a way that butane loss is avoided. Practically, this means having all fuel samples at or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit before their…

A refiner produces a tank of conventional gasoline on December 30, 1995. The tank is not shipped until January 2, 1996. Must the refiner include this batch in his 1995 volume or does he have the option of including it in either 1995 or 1996?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Compliance for a particular batch of conventional gasoline is based on the date the batch is produced, not shipped. As a result, the batch identified in the question would be included in the 1995 compliance calculations. However, the…

Confirm that ASTM method D-1319, Fluorescent Indicator Adsorption (FIA) can be used to determine aromatic and olefin levels until January 1, 1997.
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Yes, the current version, ASTM method D-1319-93, is the regulatory method for olefins and may be used as an alternate for aromatics until January 1, 1997. For aromatics, it must also be correlated to the GC-MS method. Correlation…

Question: What does EPA mean by "blending RVP of oxygenate" (equation in § 80.91(e)(4)(i)(B))?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . This means the effect that an oxygenate has on RVP when it is assumed to have a constant RVP effect per volume added. This is analogous to the blending RVP for any other hydrocarbon, except that blending RVPs…

Does EPA have curves showing the effects of different oxygenate levels on the resulting T50/T90?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The Agency has developed no such curves. However, since the Complex Model requires the use of E200 and E300 instead of T50 and T90, the effects of different oxygenate levels on E200 and E300 can be back-calculated from…
