Can refiners use the E300 and E200 conversion equations in lieu of re-graphing the distillation data?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Refiners should use the most accurate means available to determine values for E200 and E300. If these parameters cannot be measured directly, they must be converted from distillation data via curve-fitting. Only if no distillation data exists can…

Does the product transfer documentation have to physically accompany a shipment of gasoline or could the documentation be sent electronically or by facsimile to the destination prior to the delivery arrival?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Whenever possible the PTD's should accompany the shipment of gasoline. However, in circumstances like pipeline transfers where this would be impossible, the PTD's do not have to physically accompany the shipment. The regulations (§ 80.77 and § 80.106)…

How do we handle results from two different labs (refinery and outside) which differ?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Technical and engineering judgment must be used to develop an explanation for and/or solution to the discrepancy. This explanation/solution must be supported by the baseline auditor, and is subject to EPA review and approval.(7/1/94) This question and answer…

In general, how are the properties determined for blendstocks that fall outside the scope of the regulatory methods?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Some gasoline blendstocks have properties that cause them to fall outside the scope of the regulatory methods. If properties need to be obtained for these blendstocks, they must be determined by a different route, that being an interpolation…

If there are two surveys for RVP/VOC for a covered area per year and both fail, does this result in two "additive" ratchets for the covered area?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . No. Failure of surveys during a single year are not "additive", i.e., if any or all surveys in an area are failed during a given year, a single ratchet will be applied for the following year. Additionally, as…

The valid range limits for the Simple and Complex Models given in § 80.42(c)(1) and § 80.45(f)(1), respectively, give the ranges outside of which fuels cannot be evaluated with the compliance models. What are you supposed to use if the fuels to be evalu
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . If a target fuel contains one or more fuel parameters which are outside the valid range limits, the compliance models generally cannot be used to evaluate that fuel.
