Do quantities in co-located vessels have to be aggregated for worst-case release scenarios?
Pursuant to the risk management program (RMP) regulations, a facility owner or operator must conduct an off-site consequence analysis that includes modeling of a worst-case release. If a single process is comprised of several co-located vessels, must the total quantity in all the vessels be aggregated to determine the worst-case…

Please clarify and resolve the significant digit differences existing between the standard and enforcement tolerance specified, i.e. 8.3 psi RVP with a 0.30 psi enforcement tolerance.
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The significant digit differences between the RVP standard and the enforcement tolerance arise from EPA's desire to resolve any questions about rounding of RVP measurements when an enforcement tolerance has been applied. Accordingly, for example, the 0.30 psi…

Since other ASTM methods are being developed that would allow the use of one analyzer to obtain benzene, aromatics, and olefins, will EPA allow any of these new methods to be used for gasoline certification and/or a refiners’ defense?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . They are not allowed for the determination of properties of reformulated, or conventional gasoline at the refinery, but, as indicated above, they may be used downstream for quality assurance. In the future, EPA may consider amending the regulations…

What options are available to pipelines for dealing with interface material, i.e., mixtures of two different types of product that result when the different products are adjacent during pipeline movement?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Interface Mixtures Involving RFG or RBOB First, the pipeline must minimize the instances of prohibited mixing, through the sequencing together of product types that may be legally mixed, to the greatest extent possible. Second, in those instances where…

A tank truck common carrier picks up a load of ULSD at a Shell terminal and delivers it to a Flying J truck stop. The carrier only provides a transportation service, does that carrier have any registration or reporting duties?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . No, the carrier does not have registration or reporting duties as long as taxes were assessed (in the case of highway fuel) or dye was added (in the case of NRLM) at the terminal. There are recordkeeping and…

During tank transfers and other operations necessary to accommodate pipeline schedules, barrels of untested, uncertified reformulated gasoline may be mixed with barrels of previously certified product that have been included in the refiner's averaging calculations. If the total volume of mixed product is tested, certified, and booked, then double-accounting of the previously certified barrels will result. Can a procedure for unbooking of the quality and quantity of the previously certified product be used to avoid this double accounting problem?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . If, as discussed above, batch volumes are reported based on shipments out of the refinery or import facility (and averaging calculations are based on these volumes), a volume of previously tested reformulated gasoline remaining in a tank, which…
