Reformulated Gasoline and Anti-Dumping Batch Report (RFG0302): Instructions for Completing

Who must report

• Any refiner or importer that produces or imports any reformulated gasoline, RBOB, conventional gasoline, or CBOB (collectively referred to as “gasoline”) shall submit reports to EPA for each refinery at which such gasoline was produced and for all such gasoline imported by each importer. A separate batch report must be submitted for each batch of gasoline produced or imported during the averaging period.

Reporting requirements

• Monthly compositing vs batch samples – Refiners and importers may report certain parameter values using monthly composite testing while other parameters must be reported using batch by batch sampling. 40 CFR sections 80.65, 80.75, and 80.105 provide key requirements and reporting information (available at: http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=35945753f63f210281462aa6a1355847&tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title40/40cfr80_main_02.tpl).

• Required fields and NA values – Certain report fields or parameters may be specific to select product types. If a report field does not apply to the reported batch, enter the value “NA”. Do not leave the field blank.

Reporting deadlines for refiners and importers

• RFG or RBOB - Refiners or importers shall report on all reformulated gasoline or RBOB batches produced or imported during the following time periods:

Production Calendar Quarter	Time Period Covered	Quarterly Report Deadline
Quarter 1	January 1 – March 31	June 1
Quarter 2	April 1 – June 30	September 1
Quarter 3	July 1 – September 30	December 1
Quarter 4	October 1 – December 31	March 31

• Conventional Gasoline or CBOB - refiners or importers shall report on all conventional gasoline by March 31st each year for the prior calendar year averaging period.

Reports submitted by independent laboratories

• For each compliance year beginning with the 2014 compliance year, a single annual report for calendar year January through December may be submitted by the following March 31.

How to submit reports

• EPA maintains report templates, electronic submission procedures and additional support options at http://www.epa.gov/otaq/fuels/reporting/cdx.htm.
