The California enforcement exemption provided in the RFG regulations can be lost as a result of the assessment of civil, criminal or administrative penalty for violation of the federal RFG or anti-dumping provisions or for violation of CARB's Phase II RFG regulation. The effective party may petition EPA for relief for good cause. Good cause may include a showing that the violation was not a substantial violation of the federal or California RFG standards. However, under a literal interpretation of this provision, a California refiner could lose the enforcement exemption over a trivial manner. Can EPA apply narrower criteria, including establishment of willful wrongdoing criteria and the documentation or repeated offenses over a specific period of time before revocation of the exemption can occur? Additionally, clarification is needed on exemption implications of a settlement between a California refiner and CARB on California Phase II RFG enforcement matters. Can a violation of CARB Phase II RFG regulation not resulting in non-compliance with federal RFG be considered insufficient grounds for losing the exemption?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Each violation of CARB's RFG standard will be examined for its federal implications on a case-by-case basis. (8/29/94) This question and answer was posted at

A blender/importer unloads 200,000 barrels of imported blendstock into a tank at a registered terminal and blends the imported blendstock into reformulated gasoline. After the finished gasoline is certified as RFG, 150,000 barrels of the product is shipped out, and the next shipment of imported blendstock arrives. Can the imported blendstock be unloaded onto the remaining 50,000 barrels of certified RFG and reblended? (This seems to be defined as a prohibited activity if the subsequent blend is "dirtier," even though it meets RFG specifications.)
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The shipped batch of RFG should be reported as 150,000 barrels of RFG. The 50,000 barrels which are left are not considered to be part of the RFG batch for reporting purposes, because only the shipped volume is…
