By our reading of the regulations, the only reporting required of the oxygenate blender who elects to comply with the oxygen standard on a per gallon basis is a yearly report due the last day of February of each year (beginning in 1996) that states the total volume of RFG produced along with the certification statement. Is our interpretation correct? Are we correct in assuming that batch numbers and individual batch data are not required as part of the report?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Your interpretation is correct. (10/31/94) This question and answer was originally posted at

Have these manufacturers been consulted in this rulemaking process? If so, what is their position on use of 15 ppm jet fuel?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The highway and nonroad diesel programs do not require that refiners produce 15 ppm sulfur jet fuel and do not set sulfur limits for jet fuel that is not designated as motor vehicle diesel fuel. This would be…
