Instructions for STR0200: Gasoline, Gasoline Blendstock, and Diesel Batch Report

Who must report 

     Any of the following entities for each of its facilities must report on a per-batch basis for gasoline and gasoline blendstocks and Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) with sulfur greater than 15 ppm. 
         Gasoline manufacturers 
         Transmix processors  
         Oxygenate producers 
         Certified pentane producers 
         Certified pentane blenders 
         Certified butane blenders 
         Diesel manufacturers that produce ULSD with sulfur greater than 15 ppm  
A separate batch report must be submitted for each batch of product produced or imported during the annual compliance period. 

Reporting requirements 

         40 CFR 1090 subpart J provides key requirements and reporting information (available at https://ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=6ee401a77cd2a5ad4a35e2ef1cbd21bd&mc=true&node=pt40.37.1090&rgn=div5#sp40.37.1090.j) 
         Special instructions for oxygenate reporting 
               For RBOB or CBOB, report the percentage of oxygenate in the handblend created under 1090.1340. See 1090.905(c)(2)(ix) 
               For RFG or CG where the fuel manufacturer does not account for the addition of downstream oxygenate, test the gasoline for oxygenate(s)and report the type and volume of each oxygenate if applicable. See 1090.905(c)(1)(ix)  
               If blending manufacturers and transmix processors are required to measure and report the volume of oxygenate under 1090.1310(e), report the measured value in the comments field. 
         Special instructions for certified butane blending reporting  -  Butane reports are a combination of two reports with two separate batch IDs to include: 
               Butane batch  -  volume and properties of only the butane blendstock (reported as product type "BU") as received by the butane producer 
               PCG + butane or the properties of the finished batch of gasoline (reported as product type "BC" or "BX")  
         Special instructions for certified pentane blending reporting  -  Pentane reports are a combination of two reports with two separate batch IDs to include: 
               Pentane batch  -  volume and properties of only the pentane blendstock (reported as product type "PU") as received by the pentane producer 
               PCG + pentane or the properties of the finished batch of gasoline (reported as product type "PC" or "PX") 
               Certified pentane producers are also required to report each batch of certified pentane produced (reported as product type PP). 
         Special instructions for diesel manufacturers producing ULSD with sulfur greater than 15 ppm 
               For any ULSD batch with a sulfur test result greater than 15 ppm, report the facility ID, production date, batch ID, batch volume and sulfur parameter test result 
               Enter "NA" for gasoline specific parameters (e.g.,, RVP) 
         Special instructions for blending manufacturers who produce gasoline by adding blendstocks to PCG to report the sulfur, benzene and RVP results 
               Blending manufacturers who comply by subtraction, follow the requirements in 1090.905(c)(3) to account for and report the addition of downstream oxygenate. 
               Blending manufacturers who comply by addition must include the sulfur and benzene content of the blendstock in their compliance calculations following the requirements in 1090.905(c)(4). 
         Special instructions for gasoline produced by adding blendstocks to transmix gasoline product (TGP):  
               Blendstocks added to TGP  -  Report using either the compliance by addition or compliance by subtraction method and treat the transmix gasoline product as PCG 
               Both blendstocks and PCG added to TGP  -  Report using either the compliance by addition or compliance by subtraction method. If using compliance by subtraction, report the volume and properties of the PCG batch as one batch and the volume and properties of the TGP batch as a second batch. 
               If complying by addition, use the volume type ("DBS") for the blendstock and report the volume type ("OTH") and the final designation (e.g. RFG, CG) as the product type for the final certified batch. 
                     For the final certified batch, report 1) the RVP of RBOB and RFG that is designated as "Intended for Oxygenate Blending" under §1090.1010(a)(4) using hand-blend. Report RVP of CG and CBOB using neat gasoline, and 2) the measured sulfur content of the finished batch prior to a hand blend in field 19. 
               TGP only or TGP plus PCG  -  Report as one overall batch using the properties of the final certified batch. Report the volume type ("OTH") and the final designation (e.g. RFG, CG) as the product type.  

Reporting deadlines 

Entities shall report on all batches produced or imported by March 31st each year for the prior calendar year compliance period.
