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?"
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . 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…

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…

The answer to question 11 of Section F states that RFG produced by adding oxygenate to RBOB in the compartment of a truck is one batch and that each compartment must be given a different batch number. Section 80.69(c)of the regulations states "other than a truck delivering gasoline to retail outlets or wholesale purchaser-consumer facilities," which clearly indicates that retail delivery trucks are not included in the same class as storage tanks. Neither section 80.69(d) nor 80.69(e) require designation of compartments or even truck loads as separate batches and only sampling and oversight are required in section (e). It would appear that the Q and A document is in direct conflict with the July 1, 1994 memo signed by K. Stein, C. France, and M. Smith which states that the Q and A does not alter the requirements of the regulations.
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . It is assumed that the question and answer referred to is #10 of Section VI. F. of the July 1, 1994 "Reformulated Gasoline and Anti-Dumping Questions and Answers" document. EPA's response does not add or alter the requirements…

Although min/max standards do not apply to sulfur, olefins and T90, these parameters are regulated for both conventional and RFG. What tolerances will be available for these parameters?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help .

EPA has not set enforcement tolerances for standards that apply at the refinery or…

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…
