Instructions for STR0500: Independent Surveyor Annual Reporting for Fuels
Who must report
Any independent surveyor must report on test results for gasoline and diesel during the averaging period.

Reporting requirements
•
•

40 CFR 1090 subpart J provides key requirements and reporting information (available at [link to
ECFR.gov]).
Annual reports must include the requirements described in 40 CFR 1090.925(c). These
requirements include:
o Identification of the parties that participated in the survey
▪ Company name
▪ EPA assigned registration number
▪ Year of participation
o Provide a summary report for each geographic area (strata) type as well as a nationally
▪ Densely Populated Area
▪ Transportation Corridor
▪ Rural area
▪ Rural
▪ National
▪
o Summary statistics for each identified geographic area type as well as nationally
▪ Number of samples collected and tested
▪ Mean for each gasoline/diesel parameter
▪ Median for each gasoline/diesel parameter
▪ Range for each gasoline/diesel parameter
▪ Standard deviation for each measured gasoline/diesel parameter
▪ Each summary statistic to be expressed in appropriate units
o The estimated compliance rate for each measured gasoline and diesel parameter
▪ Sulfur Standards
• Gasoline sulfur – number of results above 95 ppm
• ULSD diesel sulfur – number of results above 15 ppm
▪ RVP Standards
• Federal 9.0 psi maximum RVP – number of results above 9.0 psi for any
gasoline designated as summer gasoline or located at any location in the
United States during the summer season
• Federal 7.8 psi maximum RVP – number of results above 7.8 psi for any
gasoline designated as 7.8 psi summer gasoline or located in any of the
areas described in §1090.215.
• RFG maximum RVP per-gallon standard – number of results above 7.4
psi for any gasoline designated as Summer RFG or located in RFG areas
specified in §1090.270.
▪ Cetane index
• ULSD diesel – number of results with cetane index less than 40

▪

Aromatic index
• ULSD diesel – number of results with aromatic content greater than 35
volume percent

Reporting deadlines
•

Independent surveyors must submit annual reports by March 31 for the preceding compliance
year

How to submit reports
• All reporting, including on all of the elements described above, must be submitted electronically,
using forms and procedures specified by EPA.
•

EPA maintains report templates, electronic submission procedures and additional support options
at https://www.epa.gov/fuels-registration-reporting-and-compliance-help/reporting-fuelprograms.
