Would the following scenario require product transfer documents? At the end of a month of gasoline transactions, the following shortages apply:
Company A owes 10,000 barrels of product to company B
Company B owes 10,000 barrels of product to company C
Company C owes 10,000 barrels of product to company A
Instead of physically shipping any fuel the companies just correct their books to show everything is even.
EPA would not consider this a transfer of either custody or title since no actual gasoline is represented by these "book transfers"; however, PTD's must be provided where there is a transfer of title or custody of any volume of actual product (RFG, RBOB or conventional gasoline). (12/5/94)
