Instructions for STR0200: Gasoline, Gasoline Blendstock, and Diesel Batch 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 that produce 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]).
Special instructions for oxygenate reporting
o For RBOB or CBOB, report the percentage of oxygenate in the handblend created under
1090.1340. See 1090.905(c)(2)(ix)

o For RFG or CG where the fuel manufacturer does not account for the addition of
downstream oxygenate, measure and report if the gasoline contains oxygenate.
See 1090.905(c)(1)(ix)
o If blending manufacturers and transmix processors are required to measure and
report the volume of oxygenate under 1090.1310(e), report the measured value in
the comments field.






Special instructions for certified butane blending reporting – Butane reports are a combination of
two reports with two separate batch IDs to include:
o Butane batch – volume and properties of only the butane blendstock (reported as product
type “BU”) as received by the butane producer
o PCG + butane or the properties of the finished batch of gasoline (reported as product type
“BC” or “BX”)
Special instructions for certified pentane blending reporting – Pentane reports are a combination
of two reports with two separate batch IDs to include:
o Pentane batch – volume and properties of only the pentane blendstock (reported as
product type “PU”) as received by the pentane producer
o PCG + pentane or the properties of the finished batch of gasoline (reported as product
type “PC” or “PX”)
o Certified pentane producers are also required to report each batch of certified pentane
produced (reported as product type PP).
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
o Enter “NA” for other gasoline specific parameters (i.e, RVP)
Special instructions for blending manufacturers who produce gasoline by adding blendstocks to
PCG to report the sulfur, benzene and RVP results
o Blending manufacturers who comply by subtraction, follow the requirements in
1090.905(c)(3) to account for and report the addition of downstream oxygenate.
o Blending manufacturers who comply by addition must include the sulfur and benzene
content of the blendstock in their compliance calculations following the requirements in
1090.905(c)(4).
Special instructions for gasoline produced by adding blendstocks to transmix gasoline product
(TGP):
o Blendstocks added to TGP – Report using either the compliance by addition or
compliance by subtraction method and treat the transmix gasoline product as PCG
o Both blendstocks and PCG added to TGP – Report using either the compliance by
addition or compliance by subtraction method. If using compliance by subtraction, report
the volume and properties of the PCG batch as one batch and the volume and properties
of the TGP batch as a second batch.
o If complying by addition, use the volume type (“DBS”) for the blendstock and report the
volume type (“OTH”) and the final designation (e.g. RFG, CG) as the product type for
the final certified batch.
 For the final certified batch, report 1) the RVP of RBOB and RFG that is
designated as “Intended for Oxygenate Blending” under §1090.1010(a)(4) using
hand-blend. Report RVP of CG and CBOB using neat gasoline, and 2) the
measured sulfur content of the finished batch prior to a hand blend in field 19.
o TGP only or TGP plus PCG – Report as one overall batch using the properties of the final
certified batch. Report the volume type (“OTH”) and the final designation (e.g. RFG,
CG) as the product type.
