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 non-RFG areas have to retain records?

See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help. The PTD requirements of § 80.106 apply to all distributors of conventional gasoline.

Appendix D of the fuels regulations specifies that only taps extending at least 3 feet inside a tank are suitable for sampling. Is this requirement applicable for gasoline sampling? Is it necessary to secure EPA's acceptance before collecting samples from taps without such "stingers?"

Section 11.3 of Appendix D to 40 CFR Part 80, titled "Tap Sampling," states that where tap sampling is conducted, "[t]he tank should be equipped with at least three sampling taps... extending at least three feet inside the tank…

Anti-dumping section 80.101(e) Products to which standards do not apply, indicates that "California gasoline" should be excluded from a refinery's compliance calculations. "California gasoline" is defined in 80.81 as "any gasoline that is sold, intended for sale, or made available for sale as a motor vehicle fuel in the State of California and that (i) is manufactured within the State of California; (ii) is imported into the State of California from outside the United States; or (iii) is imported into the State of California from inside the United States and that is manufactured at a refinery that does not produce reformulated gasoline."
Based on these sections, is it a correct interpretation that starting in 1995 a California refinery or importer producing or importing conventional gasoline solely for the California market would exclude all its gasoline from baseline compliance calculations and therefore not have any reporting requirements?

See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help. Refiners and importers providing gasoline for use in non-RFG areas in California prior to March 1, 1996 must meet all the anti-dumping requirements. Gasoline produced or imported for use in California on or after March 1, 1996 is not…

Although California gasoline is exempted in general, are there compliance requirements that would necessitate independent sampling and testing in that state?

See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help. Yes. Section 80.81(b)(2) provides an exemption from the independent analysis requirements of § 80.65(f) for California gasoline, as defined in § 80.81(a)(2). Reformulated gasoline that does not meet this definition (e.g., RFG that is produced in California but sold…
