In § 80.69(a)(2), the procedure for sampling and analysis of RBOB is defined. A hand blend with the specified type and amount of oxygenate is to be prepared and the blended sample analyzed, with those results to be used in compliance calculations. In §80.67(g), compliance totals are defined as the sum of each batch's volume times its parameters. What volume is to be used for RBOB in computing the compliance total -- the actual RBOB volume produced or the implicit volume after blending with the specified oxygenate volume and type?
The volume after blending with the specified oxygenate volume and type (i.e., the RBOB volume plus oxygenate) should be used for computing the compliance total. (11/28/94)
