Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Renewable Fuel Standard ...

produces gasoline within that state or territory, or an importer which imports
gasoline into that state or territory.
(b) (1) For each calendar year starting with 2007, any obligated party is required
to demonstrate, pursuant to §80.1127, that they have satisfied the Renewable
Volume Obligation for that calendar year, as specified in §80.1107(a), except as
otherwise provided in this section.
(2) The deficit carryover provisions in §80.1127(b) only apply if all of the
requirements specified in §80.1127(b) are fully satisfied.
(c) Any blender whose sole blending activity in a calendar year is to blend a
renewable fuel (or fuels) into gasoline, RBOB, CBOB, or diesel fuel is not
required to meet the renewable volume obligation specified in §80.1107(a) for
that gasoline for that calendar year.
§ 80.1107 How is the Renewable Volume Obligation calculated?
For the purposes of this section, all reformulated gasoline, conventional gasoline and
blendstock, collectively called “gasoline” unless otherwise specified, is subject to the
requirements under this subpart, as applicable.
(a) The Renewable Volume Obligation for an obligated party is determined according
to the following formula:
Where:
RVOi = RFStdi * GVi + Di-1
RVOi = The Renewable Volume Obligation for a refiner, blender, or importer for
calendar year i, in gallons of renewable fuel.
RFStdi = The renewable fuel standard for calendar year i from §80.1105, in percent.
GVi = The non-renewable gasoline volume, determined in accordance with paragraphs
(b), (c), and (d) of this section, which is produced or imported, in year i, in
gallons.
Di-1 = Renewable fuel deficit carryover from the previous year, per §80.1127(b), in
gallons.
(b) The non-renewable gasoline volume for a refiner, blender, or importer for a given
year, GVi, specified in paragraph (a) of this section is calculated as follows:
GVi = ∑G −
n
x
n
x ∑ RBx
x
Where:
x = Batch.
n = Total number of batches of gasoline produced or imported.
Gx = Total volume of gasoline produced or imported, per paragraph (c) of this section,
in gallons.
RBx = Total volume of renewable fuel blended into gasoline, in gallons.
(c) For the purposes of this section, all of the following products that are produced or
imported during a calendar year are to be included in the volume used to calculate
