s 2262. The California Reformulated Gasoline Phase 2 and

Phase 3 Standards.

The CaRFG Phase 2 and CaRFG Phase 3 standards are set forth in the following table. For all properties but Reid

vapor pressure (cap limit only) and oxygen content, the

value of t he regulated property must be less than or equal

to the specified limit. With respect to the Reid vapor

pressure cap limit and the oxygen content flat and cap

limit, the limits are expressed as a range, and the Reid

vapor pressure and oxygen content must b e less than or

equal to the upper limit, and more than or equal to the

lower limit. A qualifying small refiner may comply with

the small refiner CaRFG Phase 3 standards, in place of the

CaRFG Phase 3 standards in t his section, in accordance

with section 2272.

[FN1] The Reid vapor pressure (RVP) standards apply only during the warmer

weather months identified in section 2262.4.

[FN2] The 6.90 pounds per square inch (psi) flat limit applies s only when a

producer or importer is using the evaporative emissions model element of the

CaRFG Phase 3 Predictive Model , in which case all predictions for evaporative

emissions increases or decreases made using the evaporative emissions model

are made relative to 6.90 psi and the gasoline may not exceed the maximum RVP

cap limit of 7.2 psi. Where the evaporative em issions model element of the

CaRFG Phase 3 Predictive Model is not used, the RVP of gasoline sold or

supplied from the production or import facility may not exceed 7.0 psi.

[FN3] For sales, supplies, or offers of California gasoline dow nstream of the

production or import facility starting on the date on which early compliance

with the CaRFG Phase 3 standards is permitted by the executive officer under

section 2261(b)(3), the CaRFG Phase 2 cap limits for Reid vapor pressure and

aromatics content shall be 7.20 psi and 35.0 percent by volume respectively.

[FN4] The CaRFG Phase 3 sulfur content cap limits of 60 and 30 parts per

million are phased in starting December 31, 2003, and December 31, 2005,

respectively, in accordance with section 2261(b)(1)(A).

[FN5] Designated alternative limit may not exceed 310.

[FN6] The 1.8 percent by weight minimum oxygen content cap only applies during

specified winter months in the areas identified in section 2262.5(a).

[FN7] If the gasoline contains more than 3.5 percent by weight oxygen but no

more than 10 volume percent ethanol, the maximum oxygen content cap is 3.7

percent by weight.
