transports, or causes the transportation of any reformulated gasoline or
RBOB, shall maintain records containing the following information:

or RBOB for which the party is the transferor or transferee; and
(2) For any sampling and testing on RBOB or reformulated gasoline:
(i) The location, date, time, and storage tank or truck
identification for each sample collected;
(ii) The identification of the person who collected the sample and
the person who performed the testing;
(iii) The results of the tests; and

this section, any refiner and importer shall, for all reformulated
gasoline and RBOB produced or imported, maintain records containing the
following information:
(1) Results of the tests to determine reformulated gasoline
properties and characteristics specified in Sec. 80.65;
(2) Results of the tests for the presence of the marker specified in
Sec. 80.82;
(3) The volume of gasoline associated with each of the above test
results using the method normally employed at the refinery or import
facility for this purpose;
(4) In the case of RBOB:
(i) The results of tests to ensure that, following blending, RBOB
meets applicable standards; and
(ii) Each contract with each oxygenate blender to whom the refiner
or importer transfers RBOB; or
(iii) Compliance calculations described in Sec. 80.69(a)(8) based on
an assumed addition of oxygenate;
(5) In the case of any refinery or importer subject to the simple
model standards, the calculations used to determine the 1990 baseline
levels of sulfur, T-90, and olefins, and the calculations used to
determine compliance with the standards for these parameters;
(6) In the case of any refinery or importer subject to the complex
model standards before January 1, 1998, the calculations used to
determine the baseline levels of VOC, toxics, and NOx
emissions performance; and

gasoline under the terms of Sec. 80.65(i):
(i) Results of the tests to determine the properties and volume of
the previously certified gasoline when received at the refinery; and
(ii) Records that reflect the storage and movement of the previously
certified gasoline within the refinery to the point the previously
certified gasoline is used to produce reformulated gasoline or RBOB.
(c) Refiners, importers and oxygenate blenders of averaged gasoline.
In addition to other requirements of this section, any refiner,
importer, and oxygenate blender who produces or imports any reformulated
gasoline for which compliance with one or more applicable standard is
determined on average shall maintain records containing the following
information:
(1) The calculations used to determine compliance with the relevant
standards on average, for each averaging period and for each quantity of
gasoline for which standards must be separately achieved; and

Sec. 80.67(h), the dates of the transactions, the names and EPA
registration numbers of the parties involved, and the number(s) and
type(s) of credits transferred.
(d) Oxygenate blenders. In addition to other requirements of this
section, any oxygenate blender who blends any oxygenate with any RBOB
shall, for each occasion such terminal storage tank blending occurs,
maintain records containing the following information:
(i) The date, time, location, and identification of the blending
tank or truck in which the blending occurred;
(ii) The volume and oxygenate requirements of the RBOB to which
oxygenate was added; and
(iii) The volume, type, and purity of the oxygenate which was added,
and documents which show the source(s) of the oxygenate used.
(e) Distributors who dispense RBOB into trucks. In addition to other
requirements of this section, any distributor who dispenses any RBOB
into a truck used for delivering gasoline to retail outlets shall, for
each occasion RBOB is dispensed into such a truck, obtain records
identifying:

that received the RBOB; and
(2) The volume and oxygenate requirements of the RBOB dispensed.
(f) Conventional gasoline requirement. In addition to other
requirements of this section, any refiner and importer shall, for all
conventional gasoline produced or imported, maintain records showing the
blending of the marker required under Sec. 80.82 into conventional

marker subsequent to its addition.
(g) Retailers before January 1, 1998. Prior to January 1, 1998 any
