Section 80.67(a)(2) authorizes a compliance procedure for benzene and oxygen averaging on a "covered area" basis. If a refinery participates in a compliance survey, does this section apply? Does this section apply only if a refinery decides to average oxy
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The compliance procedure described in this section allows for oxygen and benzene averaging on an area-specific basis. Since the purpose of surveys is to assure that nationwide averaging provides adequate quality gasoline overall on an area-specific basis, a…

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…

Does blending oxygenate in conventional gasoline at a terminal require the terminal operator to be registered as an "oxygenate blender?"
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The downstream blender of oxygenates exclusively into conventional gasoline is not subject to the anti-dumping requirements and therefore does not require registration by the operator.(7/1/94) This question and answer was posted at Consolidated List of Reformulated Gasoline and…

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…

Does EPA make any distinction in terms of timeliness between PTD's which memorialize a transfer of title as opposed to those which memorialize a transfer of custody? For example, exchange statements detailing liftings by an exchange partner ordinarily are
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Section 80.77 does not distinguish between transfers of custody and transfers of title. Nevertheless, EPA believes the two situations may be different in terms of the timing necessary for PTD information. In the case of transfers of custody…

EPA has stated that a Product Transfer Document must be provided to the transferee in an exchange transaction. Is this true when this exchange is instantaneous and the transferee has no ability to alter the product?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Yes. When any person transfers title or custody of any gasoline (with the exception of gasoline sold or dispensed at a retail outlet or wholesale purchaser-consumer for use in motor vehicles), the transferor must provide to the transferee…

For downstream compliance, has EPA addressed the issue that two complying batches mixed downstream may not comply when tested downstream?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . In the development of the Complex Model, EPA investigated the possibility that two complying batches, when mixed, may not comply with the RFG standards. This "fungibility" issue arises out of the model's nonlinear character. Based on a Monte…

In areas where an oxy fuels program is in effect, how do these requirements coincide with RFG requirements? In areas where there is an overlap, are any regulatory changes necessary by the state?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . In areas that are covered by both a state's winter oxy fuels and the federal RFG programs, the fuel must comply with both program requirements. Therefore, the more stringent 2.7 wt% minimum requirement of the winter oxy fuels…
