(ii) The volume estimates specified in paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section must be provided for the periods of June 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, and calendar years 2008 through 2015.
(4) Benzene concentration. An estimate of the average gasoline benzene concentration corresponding to the time periods specified in paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of this section.
(5) ABT participation. For each year through 2015, the following information related to crdits shall be provided to EPA, if applicable:
(i) If the refinery is expecting to generate benzene credits per § 80.1275 and/or § 80.1290, the actual or estimated, as applicable, numbers of early credits and standard credits expected to be generated.

(7) Basic information regarding the selected technology pathway for compliance (e.g., precursor re-routing or other technologies, revamp vs. grassroots, etc.).
(8) Whether capital commitments have been made or are projected to be made.
(b) The pre-compliance reports due in 2008 and succeeding years must provide an update of the progress in each of these areas and include actual values where available.
