What does EPA consider "shipment volume" for the volume reported to the EPA? Would shipment be considered the point at which the product leaves the blend tank where it is certified and is fungibly mixed in sales tanks; could it be the point where the product is placed on a pipeline, barge or sold over the rack; could it be the point of tender as defined in the audit requirements; or at the point where a transfer of custody or ownership took place?
For purposes of reporting, under § 80.75(a)(2)(iii), the "volume of the batch" is the volume that leaves the blend tank where it is certified and is subsequently fungibly mixed somewhere else. (9/26/94)
