(a) A refinery's gasoline sulfur baseline for the purpose of generating credits during years 2000 through 2003 is calculated using the following equation:[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR10FE00.011 Where: SBase=Sulfur baseline value.Vi=Volume of gasoline batch i.Si=Sulfur content of gasoline batch i.n = Total number of batches of gasoline produced during January 1, 1997
through December 31, 1998 (or the total number of batches of
gasoline pursuant to Sec. 80.290(c)(6); or, for a foreign
refinery, the total number of batches of gasoline produced and
imported into the U.S. during January 1, 1997 through December
31, 1998, or, the total number of batches of gasoline produced
and imported into the U.S. pursuant to Sec. 80.290(d)(2)).i = Individual batch of gasoline produced during January 1, 1997 through
December 31, 1998 (or individual batch of gasoline produced
pursuant to Sec. 80.290(c)(6); or, for a foreign refinery,
individual batch of gasoline produced and imported into the
U.S. during January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1998, or,
individual batch of gasoline produced and imported into the
U.S. pursuant to Sec. 80.290(d)(2)).
(b) Any refiner who, under Sec. 80.69 or Sec. 80.101(d)(4), included oxygenate blended downstream in compliance calculations for 1997-1998 for a refinery must include this oxygenate in the baseline calculations for sulfur content for that refinery under paragraph (a) of this section.
(c) Sulfur baseline calculations under this section shall be conducted to two decimal places. [65 FR 6823, Feb. 10, 2000, as amended at 66 FR 19308, Apr. 13, 2001] Sec. 80.300 [Reserved]
