2008, No. 52 § 2270. Testing and Recordkeeping.
(a)(1) The requirements of this section (a) shall apply toeach producer and importer that has elected to be subject to an averaging limit in section 2262, or to a PMaveraging limit, or to a producer or importer that produces gasoline that has elected to be subject to the PMemissions offsetting compliance option pursuant to section 2264.2(d). The references to sulfur content shall apply to each producer or importer that has elected to be subject to the section 2262 averaging limit for sulfur, or to a PM averaging limit for sulfur, or to a producer or importer that produces gasoline that has elected to besubject to the PM emissions offsetting compliance option pursuant to section 2264.2(d). The references tobenzene content shall apply to each producer or importer that has elected to be subject to the section 2262 averaging limit for benzene, or to a PM averaging limit forbenzene, or to a producer or importer that produces gasoline that has elected to be subject to the PM emissions offsetting compliance option pursuant to section 2264.2(d). The references to olefin content shall applyto each producer or importer that has elected to be subject to the section 2262 averaging limit for olefin content, or to a PM averaging limit for olefin content, or to a producer or importer that produces gasoline that has elected to be subject to the PM emissions offsetting compliance option pursuant to section 2264.2(d). Thereference to T90 shall apply to each producer or importer that has elected to be subject to the section 2262 averaging limit for T90, or to a PM averaging limit for T90, or to a producer or importer that produces gasolinethat has elected to be subject to the PM emissions offsetting compliance option pursuant to section 2264.2(d). The references to T50 shall apply to each producer or importer that has elected to be subject to the section2262 averaging limit for T50, or to a PM averaging limit for T50, or to a producer or importer that producesgasoline that has elected to be subject to the PM emissions offsetting compliance option pursuant to section2264.2(d). The references to aromatic hydrocarbon content shall apply to each producer or importer that has elected to be subject to the section 2262 averaging limit for aromatic hydrocarbon content, or to a PM averaging limit for aromatic hydrocarbon content, or to a producer or importer that produces gasoline that has elected to besubject to the PM emissions offsetting compliance option pursuant to section 2264.2(d). The references to oxygen content and RVP shall apply to each producer or importer that produces gasoline that has elected to besubject to the PM emissions offsetting compliance option pursuant to section 2264.2(d).
(2) Each producer shall sample and test for the sulfur,aromatic hydrocarbon, olefin, oxygen, and benzene content, RVP (during the RVP regulatory control periods in section 2262.4(b)(2)), T50 and T90 in each final blend of California gasoline which the producer has produced, by collecting and analyzing a representative sample ofgasoline taken from the final blend, using the methodologies specified in section 2263. If a producer blends gasoline components directly to pipelines, tankships, railway tankcars or trucks and trailers, the loading(s)shall be sampled and tested for the sulfur, aromatic hydrocarbon, olefin, oxygen, and benzene content, RVP (during the RVP regulatory control periods in section2262.4(b)(2)), T50 and T90 by the producer or authorized contractor. The producer shall maintain, for two years from the date of each sampling, records showing the sample date, identity of blend sampled, container orother vessel sampled, final blend volume, sulfur, aromatic hydrocarbon olefin, oxygen, and benzene content,RVP, T50 and T90. All gasoline produced by the producer and not tested as California gasoline by the producer 13 CA ADC § 2270 Page 1 13 CCR § 2270 Cal. Admin. Code tit. 13, § 2270

sulfur, aromatic hydrocarbon, olefin, oxygen, and benzene content, RVP (during the RVP regulatory controlperiods in section 2262.4(b)(2)), T50 and T90 exceeding the applicable averaging limit standards specified insection 2262, or exceeding the comparable PM averaging limits if applicable, or exceeding the designatedemissions offsetting limits, unless the importer demonstrates that the gasoline meets those standards and limits.
(3) Each importer shall sample and test for the sulfur, aromatic hydrocarbon, olefin and benzene content, T50 and T90 in each final blend of California gasoline which the importer has imported by tankship, pipeline, railway tankcars, trucks and trailers, or other means, by collecting and analyzing a representative sample of the gasoline, using the methodologies specified in section 2263. The importer shall maintain, for two years from the date of each sampling, records showing the sample date, product sampled, container or other vessel sampled, the volume of the final blend, sulfur content, aromatic hydrocarbon, olefin and benzene content, T50 and T90. All gasoline imported by the importer and not tested as California gasoline by the importer as requiredby this section shall be deemed to have a sulfur, aromatic hydrocarbon, olefin and benzene content, T50 and T90 exceeding the applicable averaging limits standards specified in section 2262, or exceeding the comparable PM averaging limit(s) if applicable, or exceeding thedesignated emissions offsetting limits, unless the importer demonstrates that the gasoline meets those standards and limit(s).
(4) A producer or importer shall provide to the executive officer any records required to be maintained by the producer or importer pursuant to this section within 20 days of a written request from the executive officer if the request is received before expiration of the period during which the records are required to be maintained.Whenever a producer or importer fails to provide records regarding a final blend of California gasoline inaccordance with the requirements of this section, the final blend of gasoline shall be presumed to have beensold by the producer or importer in violation of the applicable averaging limit standards in section 2262, or the PM averaging limit(s), or exceeding the designatedemissions offsetting limits, to which the producer or importer has elected to be subject.
(5) The executive officer may enter into a protocol with any producer or importer for the purpose of specifyingalternative sampling, testing, recordkeeping, or reporting requirements which shall satisfy the provisions of sections (a)(2) or (a)(3). The executive officer may only enter into such a protocol if s/he reasonably determines that application of the regulatory requirements under the protocol will be consistent with the state board's ability effectively to enforce the averaging limit standards insection 2262, the averaging limit compliance requirements in section 2262.3(c), the PM averaging limit(s),the PM emissions offsetting compliance option requirements in section 2265.1, and the alternative emission reduction plan requirements in section 2265.5. Any such protocol shall include the producer's or importer's agreement to be bound by the terms of the protocol.
(b)(1) For each final blend which is sold or supplied bya producer or importer from the party's production facility or import facility, and which contains volumes of gasoline that party has produced and imported and volumes that the party neither produced nor imported, the producer or importer shall establish, maintain andretain adequately organized records containing the following information:
(A) The volume of gasoline in the final blend thatwas not produced or imported by the producer or importer, the identity of the person(s) from whom suchgasoline was acquired, the date(s) on which it was acquired, and the invoice representing the acquisition(s).
(B) The sulfur, benzene, aromatic hydrocarbon, olefin and benzene content, T50 and T90 of the volume ofgasoline in the final blend that was not produced or imported by the producer or importer, determined eitherby (A) sampling and testing, by the producer or importer, of the acquired gasoline represented in the final blend, or (B) written results of sampling and test of thegasoline supplied by the person(s) from whom the gasoline was acquired. 13 CA ADC § 2270 Page 2 13 CCR § 2270 Cal.

shall establish such records by the time the final blend triggering the requirements is sold or supplied from theproduction or import facility, and shall retain such records for two years from such date. During the period of required retention, the producer or importer shall make any of the records available to the executive officer upon request.
(c) In the event a producer or importer sells, offers forsale, or supplies, in California, gasoline which the producer claims is not California gasoline, such gasoline shall be presumed to exceed the standards that would be applicable pursuant to this subarticle if it was California gasoline. The producer or importer shall maintain, for two years from the date of any sale or supply of such gasoline, records demonstrating that the gasoline was not California gasoline, or that it complied with all of the standards of this subarticle 2, when it was sold or supplied by the producer.
