The preamble states: "As with all parameters, there will be only one regulatory distillation test method. However, other suitable methods may be used for defense purposes (but not to meet mandatory testing requirements) as long as they are properly correlated with the regulatory test method." Does this mean that for testing downstream of the refinery or import facility for quality assurances purposes, other methods may be used by a refiner for defense assuming they are correlated to the regulatory method?

EPA has indicated that a batch of RFG should be certified based on the volume shipped out of the refinery from the blending tank. However, where a blend is transferred to a storage tank after blending, the batch may be certified based on the volume transferred from the blending tank to the storage tank. In the latter instance, if an amount of gasoline that is different from the certified batch volume is then shipped out of the refinery from the storage tank, should the volume that is actually shipped out be included on the PTDs?
