Abstract: Gasoline combustion is the 

major source of air pollution in most 

urban areas. In the 1990 amendments to 

the Clean Air Act (Act), section 211(k), 

Congress required that gasoline 

dispensed in nine areas with severe air 

quality problems, and areas that opt-in, 

be reformulated to reduce toxic and 

ozone-forming emissions. Congress also 

required that, in the process of 

producing reformulated gasoline (RFG), 

dirty components removed in the 

reformulation process not be ‘‘dumped’’ 

into the remainder of the country’s 

gasoline, known as conventional 

gasoline (CG). The Environmental 

Protection Agency promulgated 

regulations at 40 CFR part 80, subpart 

D—Reformulated Gasoline, subpart E— 

Anti-Dumping, and subpart F—Attest 

Engagements, implementing the 

statutory requirements, which include 

standards for RFG (80.41) and CG 

(80.101). The regulations also contain 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements for the production, 

importation, transport and storage of 

gasoline, in order to demonstrate 

compliance and facilitate compliance 

and enforcement. This program 

excludes California, which has separate 

requirements for gasoline. 

The United States has an annual 

gasoline consumption of about 133 

billion gallons, of which about 30% is 

RFG. In 2013 EPA received reports from 

255 refineries, 60 importer facilities/

facility groups, 51 oxygenate blending 

facilities, 25 independent laboratory 

facilities, and the RFG Survey 

Association, Inc. under this program. 

Section 211(k) of the Act requires the 

Administrator to promulgate regulations 

establishing requirements for RFG to be 

used in gasoline-fueled vehicles in the 

nine specified nonattainment areas, and 

opt-in areas. The Act specifically 

provides that recordkeeping, reporting, 

and sampling and testing requirements 

are among the tools EPA may use in 

enforcement of the provisions, and also 

provides that EPA must develop an 

enforceable scheme. Sections 114 and 

208 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7414 

and 7542, authorize EPA to require 

recordkeeping and reporting regarding 

enforcement of the provisions of Title II 

of the Clean Air Act. 

Information claimed as confidential is 

handled in accordance with EPA 

Freedom of Information Act regulations 

at 40 CFR 2. Most of the information 

submitted is claimed as such. Data 

submitted electronically are encrypted 

and housed in a secure area. 

Form: Reformulated Gasoline and 

Conventional Gasoline reporting is now 

required to be completed electronically. 

The reporting is to be made through The 

EPA Fuels Programs Reporting Forms:
