See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Trace amounts of oxygenates that may be present in MTBE or ethanol do not have to be reported. However, where a refiner reports total oxygen weight percent that includes MTBE or ethanol plus other oxygenates in larger than…
