Instructions for RFG030X: Gasoline and Gasoline Blendstock Batch Summary Report

Who must report

Any of the following entities for each of its facilities must report on a per-batch basis for gasoline, gasoline blendstocks and ULSD with sulfur greater than 15 ppm.

• Gasoline manufacturers

• Transmix processors

• Oxygenate producers

• Certified pentane producers

• Certified pentane blenders

• Certified butane blenders

• Diesel manufacturers producing ULSD with sulfur greater than 15 ppm

A separate batch report must be submitted for each batch of product produced or imported during the averaging period.

Reporting requirements

• 40 CFR 1090 subpart J provides key requirements and reporting information (available at [link to ECFR.gov]).

• Page 2 of this document contains summary level reporting requirements by product type and parameter.

• Special Instructions for butane blending reporting – Butane reports are a combination of three reports with three separate batch IDs to include:

  • Butane batch – volume and properties of only the butane blendstock as received by the butane producer as shown in table 1

  • PCG + butane or the properties of the finished batch of gasoline as shown in table 1

• Special instructions for pentane blending reporting – Pentane reports are a combination of three reports with three separate batch IDs to include:

  • Pentane batch – volume and properties of only the pentane blendstock as received by the butane producer as shown in table 1

  • PCG + pentane or the properties of the finished batch of gasoline as shown in table 1

• Special instructions for diesel manufacturers producing ULSD with sulfur greater than 15 ppm

  • For any ULSD batch with a sulfur test result greater than 15 ppm, report the facility ID, production date, batch ID, batch volume and sulfur parameter test result

  • Enter “NA” for other gasoline specific parameters (i.e, RVP)

Reporting deadlines

• Entities shall report on all batches produced or imported by March 31^st each year for the prior calendar year averaging period.
