[Editor’s Note: This section is removed and reserved effective January 1, 2022.]
(a) Any refiner seeking small refiner status must apply for a refinery sulfur baseline by the deadline under§80.235for each of the refiner's refineries by providing the following information:
(1) A sulfur baseline and baseline volume for every refinery calculated in accordance with§80.250.
(2) The following information for each batch of gasoline produced in 1997-1998:
(i) Batch number assigned to the batch under§80.65(d)or §80.101(i);
(ii) Volume; and
(iii) Sulfur content.
(3) For any refiner that acquires and/or reactivates a refinery that was shut down or non-operational between January 1, 1997, and December 31, 1998, the average sulfur level and average volume of gasoline produced during each annual averaging period that the refinery was in operation after the refinery was acquired and/or reactivated. EPA will evaluate all of the information and data submitted by the refiner in determining the appropriate sulfur baseline for the refinery. Where EPA concludes that the data submitted reasonably reflects current sulfur levels, the refinery's baseline will be determined based on the average sulfur content of gasoline produced by the refinery during the most recent annual averaging period in which the refinery was in operation.
(b) The sulfur baseline application must be submitted to the address specified in §80.235(b).
(c)(1) Foreign refiners who do not have an approved individual refinery baseline under§80.94must follow the procedures specified in §80.410(b).
(2) Foreign refiners who have an approved individual refinery baseline under§80.94, but one that was not in effect for purposes of anti-dumping compliance during the 1997-1998 annual averaging periods, must comply with the requirements of this section for the gasoline produced at the refinery and imported into the United States during each of the annual averaging periods in which the refinery was subject to its individual anti-dumping baseline. EPA will evaluate all of the information and data submitted under this section in determining the foreign refinery's sulfur baseline pursuant to this paragraph. Where EPA concludes that the data submitted reasonably reflects current sulfur levels, the refinery's baseline will be determined based on the annual average sulfur level and volume of gasoline produced by the foreign refinery and imported into the U.S. during the most recent annual averaging period in which the refinery was subject to its individual anti-dumping baseline.
