Ariz. Admin. Code § 3-7-759
Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 50, December 13, 2024
Section R3-7-759 - Testing MethodologiesA. Except as provided in subsection (C), a registered supplier certifying Arizona CBG or AZRBOB as meeting the requirements of this Article shall use one of the EPA- or CARB-approved ASTM methods listed in Table A, a copy of which may be obtained at: ASTM International, 100 Bar Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959 or www.astm.org. A copy of the CARB methods may be obtained at: California Air Resources Board, P.O. Box 2815, Sacramento, CA 95812 or www.arb.ca.gov.B. An oxygenate blender or third-party terminal certifying Arizona CBG or AZRBOB before transport to the CBG-covered area shall measure the oxygenate content in accordance with the oxygenate blender's or third-party terminal's approved QA/QC program or in accordance with one of the methods listed in Table A.C. Rather than using a method listed in Table A to certify Arizona CBG or AZRBOB, a registered supplier may use the CARBOB Model and use the fuel-quality measures calculated using the CARBOB Model for compliance and reporting purposes.
D. A test method that the Division determines is equivalent to those listed in Table A may be used to certify Arizona CBG or AZRBOB. The Division has determined that test methods approved by either EPA methodology described in 40 CFR 1090.1360 or CARB are equivalent test methods. EPA referee methods from 40 CFR 80.47 as it existed December 31, 2020, may be used if the tested property is not listed in 40 CFR 1090.1360. If a correlation equation is required by EPA, CARB, or the ASTM test method, the correlation equation shall be used to align the test methods, and becomes part of the equivalent test method.
