(2) For each refinery of small refiners subject to the provisions of § 80.551(g) and § 80.554(b), for each compliance period between June 1, 2010 and May 31, 2012, report the following:

(i) The total volume of diesel fuel produced and designated as NR diesel fuel.

(ii) The total volume of diesel fuel produced and designated as LM diesel fuel.

(iii) The total volume of diesel fuel produced and designated as NR diesel fuel subject to the 500 ppm sulfur standard under § 80.510(a).

(iv) The total volume of diesel fuel produced and designated as LM diesel fuel subject to the 500 ppm sulfur standard under § 80.510(a).

(v) The volume of diesel fuel produced and designated as NR diesel fuel having a sulfur content of 15 ppm or less.

(vi) The baseline under § 80.554(b)(1).

(vii) The total volume of NRLM diesel fuel produced that is eligible for the sulfur standard under § 80.510(a).

(viii) The total volume, if any, of NRLM diesel fuel subject to the 15 ppm sulfur standard that had a sulfur content in excess of 15 ppm.

(3) For each refinery of small refiners subject to the provisions of § 80.551(g) and § 80.554(b), for each compliance period between June 1, 2012 and May 31, 2014, report the following:
