We are a marketer of ethanol products. Sometimes personnel at ethanol plants make mistakes as to the number of gallons being loaded or produced. How do we "recall" erroneous RINs if the number of gallons we receive exceeds the number of RINs?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . PTD documents may be corrected to reflect the appropriate volume associated with the volume received. The additional volume with assigned RINs may be addressed with a second PTD. Question and Answer was originally posted at: Questions and Answers…

We are importers who import ethanol without denaturant, but with the intent to use it as motor fuel. When the RIN is generated, we maintain ownership of the ethanol, but we do not have custody and we do not add the denaturant. Would we include our company ID number and use the facility number of the denaturing facility (i.e. they would have to be registered)?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The owner of the denaturing facility would not necessarily be a registered party under the regulations. The company and facility IDs of the importing party who owns the renewable fuel at the time a RIN is generated (based…

We are best described as an "intermediate feedstock processor." We produce gasoline by processing feedstocks (that are derived from crude oil) in processing units which are the same as those used in crude oil refineries. We process less than 75,000 barrels of feedstocks per day, and are not owned or affiliated with anyone else. Are we a "small refinery" under the RFS regulation and not an obligated party until 2011, unless we opt into the program?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Yes. EPA's definition of "small refinery" is identical to the definition used in EPAct, as it was intended to implement the EPAct provisions. EPAct defines a small refinery as a refinery for which the average aggregate daily crude…

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 evaluated are outside of the specified valid range limits?
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. To use the compliance models, a refiner may reformulate the…

If a pipeline must be classified as a refiner, how would that be handled administratively by EPA? Since pipelines don't own the product, would pipeline have to become buyers and sellers for regulatory purposes?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Refiners must be registered with EPA. The pipeline need not be an owner of the gasoline to be a refiner. (7/1/94) This question and answer was posted at

How may terminals and retail outlets transition from non-VOC-controlled RFG to VOC-controlled RFG in advance of the high ozone season each spring?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Section 80.78(a)(1)(v) requires that RFG must be VOC-controlled for the proper VOC-control Region when stored or dispensed by terminals beginning May 1 of each year, and for retail outlets and wholesale purchaser-consumers beginning June 1 of each year…

In the GC-MS test for aromatics, why must the calibration curves be forced through the origin? All mass spectrometers will show some noise at a zero concentration level.
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Calibration curves are not required to be forced through the origins. The reference in the regulation is a suggested method. (7/1/94) This question and answer was posted at

A foreign cargo of RFG is to be imported into several terminals. Can the cargo be certified before discharge at the first U.S. port of entry and that certification used for all subsequent ports of entry, or must it be tested and certified separately at each U.S. port of entry?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Certification of every batch of imported RFG must occur separately for Customs purposes at each U.S. port of entry. For example, if a vessel goes first to New York to discharge half its cargo, then proceeds on to…
