Title: ●Requirements for Transmix Processing and Blending Under the Reformulated Gasoline and Gasoline Sulfur Rules 
Abstract: This rule codifies existing guidance for transmix processors and blenders in the Reformulated Gasoline regulations. Transmix is a mixture of gasoline and distillate produced by pipelines - transmix processors distill the transmix into separate gasoline and distillate products, and transmix blenders blend small amounts of transmix into gasoline. The rule also establishes gasoline sulfur standards for transmix processors and blenders that are consistent with the sulfur standards for other entities downstream of refineries, such as pipelines and terminals, in the gasoline distribution system. The rule will provide operational flexibility for transmix processors and blenders without causing any adverse environmental impacts.
