Beginning with 2006, or the first compliance period during which credits are generated under § 80.531(b) or (c), whichever is earlier, any refiner or importer who produces or imports motor vehicle diesel fuel subject to the 500 ppm sulfur standard under § 80.520(c), or any refiner or importer who generates, uses, obtains, or transfers credits under §§ 80.530 through 80.532, and continuing for each year thereafter, must submit to EPA annual reports that contain the information required in this section, and such other information as EPA may require:

(a) Refiners and importers. Refiners and importers must report the following information separately for each refinery or CTA, in the case of importers, subject to a phase-in sulfur standard, small refiner standard or temporary refiner relief sulfur standard, or who generates, uses or transfers credits under §§ 80.530 through 80.532:

(1) The refiner's name and the EPA refinery registration number.

(2) For all motor vehicle diesel fuel produced for use in the United States during the compliance period:

(i) The total volume of motor vehicle diesel fuel produced;

(ii) The volume, in gallons, that complied with a sulfur content standard of 500 ppm; and

(iii) The volume, in gallons, that complied with the 15 ppm sulfur content standard.

(3) The percentage of the volume of motor vehicle diesel fuel produced during the compliance period that met the 15 ppm sulfur standard and the percentage that met the 500 ppm sulfur standard prior to the application of any volume credits.

(4) The percentage of volume of motor vehicle diesel fuel produced meeting the 15 ppm sulfur standard after the inclusion of any credits.

(5) Information regarding credits, separately for each refinery and for credits or debits related to imported motor diesel fuel, separately by importer and separately by CTA of import as follows:

(i) The CTA of the refiner's refinery or the importer's or the foreign refiner's CTA and port of importation;

(ii) The number of credits at the beginning of the compliance period;

(iii) The number of credits generated;

(iv) The number of credits used;

(v) If any credits were obtained from or transferred to other refineries or import ports, for each other refinery or importer, its name, address (or Port) and CTA, EPA refinery or importer registration number, and the number of credits obtained from or transferred to the other refinery or importer (by import CTA);

(vi) The number of credits, if any, that will carry over to the subsequent compliance period; and

(vii) The number of credits in deficit that must be made up for the following year;

(6) The reporting requirements under § 80.620, if applicable.

(7) For each batch of motor vehicle diesel fuel produced or imported during the compliance period:

(i) The batch number assigned using the batch numbering conventions under § 80.65(d)(3) and the appropriate designation under § 80.598.

(ii) The date the batch was produced; and

(iii) The volume of the batch, in gallons.

(8) When submitting reports under this paragraph (a), any importer shall exclude certified DFR-Diesel.

(b) Additional reporting requirements for importers. Importers of motor vehicle diesel fuel subject to the 500 ppm sulfur standard must report the following information:

(1) The importer's name and EPA registration number.

(2) For each foreign refinery from which motor vehicle diesel fuel is imported that is subject to a sulfur standard under § 80.520(c), the importer must report, for each batch of diesel fuel imported, the information required to be reported under § 80.620(o).

(1) Signed and certified as meeting all the applicable requirements of this subpart by the owner or a responsible corporate officer of the refiner or importer; and

(2) Submitted to EPA no later than August 31 for the prior annual compliance period.
