biomass-based diesel, in gallons.
(3) Advanced biofuel. RVOAB,i = (RFStdAB,i * (GVi + DVi)) + DAB,i-1 Where: RVOAB,i = The Renewable Volume Obligation for advanced
biofuel for an obligated party for calendar year i, in
gallons.RFStdAB,i = The standard for advanced biofuel for calendar
year i, determined by EPA pursuant to Sec. 80.1405, in
percent.GVi = The non-renewable gasoline volume, determined in
accordance with paragraphs (b), (c), and (f) of this section,
which is produced in or imported into the 48 contiguous states
or Hawaii by an obligated party in calendar year i, in
gallons.DVi = The non-renewable diesel volume, determined in
accordance with paragraphs (d), (e), and (f) of this section,
produced in or imported into the 48 contiguous states or
Hawaii by an obligated party in calendar year i, in gallons.DAB,i-1 = Deficit carryover from the previous year for
advanced biofuel, in gallons.
(4) Renewable fuel. RVORF,i = (RFStdRF,i * (GVi + DVi)) + DRF,i-1 Where: RVORF,i = The Renewable Volume Obligation for renewable fuel
for an obligated party for calendar year i, in gallons.RFStdRF,i = The standard for renewable fuel for calendar year
i, determined by EPA pursuant to Sec. 80.1405, in percent.GVi = The non-renewable gasoline volume, determined in
accordance with paragraphs (b), (c), and (f) of this section,
which is produced in or imported into the 48 contiguous states
or Hawaii by an obligated party in calendar year i, in
gallons.DVi = The non-renewable diesel volume, determined in
accordance with paragraphs (d), (e), and (f) of this section,
produced in or imported into the 48 contiguous states or
Hawaii by an obligated party in calendar year i, in gallons.DRF,i-1 = Deficit carryover from the previous year for
renewable fuel, in gallons.
(b) The non-renewable gasoline volume, GVi, for an obligated party for a given year as specified in paragraph (a) of this section is calculated as follows:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR26MR10.430 Where: x = Individual batch of gasoline produced or imported in calendar year
i.n = Total number of batches of gasoline produced or imported in calendar
year i.GX = Volume of batch x of gasoline produced or imported, as
defined in paragraph (c) of this section, in gallons.y = Individual batch of renewable fuel blended into gasoline in calendar
year i. m = Total number of batches of renewable fuel blended into gasoline in
calendar year i.RBGy = Volume of batch y of renewable fuel blended into
gasoline, in gallons.
(c) Except as specified in paragraph (f) of this section, all of the following products that are produced or imported during a compliance period, collectively called ``gasoline'' for the purposes of this section (unless otherwise specified), are to be included (but not double-counted) in the volume used to calculate a party's Renewable Volume Obligations under paragraph (a) of this section, except as provided in paragraph (f) of this section:
(1) Reformulated gasoline, whether or not renewable fuel is later added to it.
(2) Conventional gasoline, whether or not renewable fuel is later added to it.
(3) Reformulated gasoline blendstock that becomes finished reformulated gasoline upon the addition of oxygenate (RBOB).
(4) Conventional gasoline blendstock that becomes finished conventional gasoline upon the addition of oxygenate (CBOB).
(5) Blendstock (including butane, pentane, and gasoline treated as blendstock (GTAB)) that has been combined with other blendstock and/or finished gasoline to produce gasoline.
(6) Any gasoline, or any unfinished gasoline that becomes finished gasoline upon the addition of oxygenate, that is produced or imported to comply with a state or local fuels program.
(d) The diesel non-renewable volume, DVi, for an obligated party for a given year as specified in paragraph (a) of this section is calculated as follows:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR26MR10.431 Where: x = Individual batch of diesel produced or imported in calendar year i.n = Total number of batches of diesel produced or imported in calendar
year i.DX = Volume of batch x of diesel produced or imported, as
