Abstract: EPA regulations at 40 CFR 80 Subpart N require recordkeeping and reporting for respondents involved in the production, transport, and dispensing of gasoline with over 10% ethanol by volume and up to 15% ethanol by volume (E15). E15 use is limited to certain 2001 model-year and newer light-duty motor vehicles. It is not allowed in motorcycles, heavy-duty vehicles, and non-road engines, which may result in increased emissions. To deter the misuse of E15 in those vehicles and engines, (1) pumps dispensing E15 are required to have prominent labels (2) the product transfer documents (PTDs) that accompany shipments of gasoline and certain gasoline blendstocks are required to have certain identifying and compliance information, (3) respondents are required to conduct quarterly compliance surveys, and (4) certain respondents are required to implement a Misfueling Mitigation Plan.
