SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
PART 3. PRODUCT PIPELINE STOCKS

Table 1. State Classification

Quantities: Report using the following criteria.
•

Report all quantities to the nearest whole number in
thousand barrels (42 U.S. gallons/barrel). Quantities
ending in 499 or less are rounded down, and quantities
ending in 500 or more are rounded up (e.g., 106,499
barrels are reported as 106 and 106,500 barrels are
reported as 107).

•

If the quantity for a product for which you usually report
data is zero, please enter “0". Shaded cells on the form
are those in which data are not currently required to be
reported.

•

Exclude oxygenates such as methyl tertiary butyl ether
(MTBE), ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE), tertiary amyl
methyl ether (TAME), tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA), fuel
ethanol (FETH), methanol, etc. in motor gasoline blending
components (Code 134) unless they have already been
commingled with gasoline blending components. Stocks
of these products are not reported in the Weekly
Petroleum Supply Reporting System, but are reported in
the Monthly Petroleum Supply Reporting System as
“Other Hydrocarbons, Hydrogen, and Oxygenates”
(Code 090).

was intended for transport by pipeline and the fuel exceeded
the pipeline specification for sulfur content.

PART 4. DIESEL FUEL DOWNGRADED
Report the volume of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (distillate fuel
oil 0 ppm-15 ppm sulfur, EIA product code 465) downgraded
in pipelines and any associated storage terminals with
inventory reported on Form EIA-802 ‘Weekly Product Pipeline
Report” operated by your company. Only report volumes
downgraded while in custody of facilities operated by your
company. Fuel in transit by water to a facility operated by
your company is considered in custody of the destination
facility. Fuel downgraded while in transit or stored by a
pipeline not operated by your company must be excluded
from downgraded fuel volumes reported by your company.
Downgrading ultra-low sulfur diesel may result because fuel
encountered residual sulfur in the petroleum storage and
transportation system (tanks, pipes, manifolds, valves,
barges, etc.). Downgrading may also result from commingling
ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with other distillate products having
sulfur content exceeding 15 ppm as with pipeline interface or
transmix. Report the volume downgraded regardless of
whether the downgrading was intended or unintended.
It is possible for downgraded diesel fuel to be recertified as
ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel by blending downgraded diesel fuel
with ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel. In this case, the volume
recertified by blending will be reported as negative
downgraded volume. The volume of downgraded diesel fuel
reported will be the net of downgraded volume (positive
quantities) and recertified volume (negative quantities) at all
of the facilities operated by your company. Recertified
ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel may include volume that was
downgraded at a facility operated by another company as
long as the blending to recertify the fuel occurred at a facility
operated by your company. Exclude any fuel recertified by
blending at facilities not operated by your company and diesel
fuel blending activity not associated with downgraded ultralow sulfur diesel fuel.
Report ultra-low sulfur diesel volumes downgraded even if
some or all of the downgraded fuel will be reprocessed at a
refinery and recertified as ultra-low sulfur diesel. In this case,
the refinery will account for the recertified fuel volume rather
than the pipeline operator.
Exclude from downgraded volumes any diesel fuel with sulfur
content exceeding 15 ppm if the fuel met U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency standards for ultra-low sulfur diesel and
the fuel was handled and intended for sale as ultra-low sulfur
diesel. Examples include ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with
sulfur content greater than 15 ppm but still within testing
tolerance and ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel sold during certain
transition periods when standards allow for sulfur content
greater than 15 ppm.

PROVISIONS REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY
OF INFORMATION
The information reported on this form will be protected and
not disclosed to the public to the extent that it satisfies the
criteria for exemption under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA), 5 U.S.C. §552, the DOE regulations, 10 C.F.R.
§1004.11, implementing the FOIA, and the Trade Secrets Act,
18 U.S.C. §1905.
The Federal Energy Administration Act requires the EIA to
provide company-specific data to other Federal agencies
when requested for official use. The information reported on
this form may also be made available, upon request, to
another component of the Department of Energy (DOE); to
any Committee of Congress, the General Accounting Office,
or other Federal agencies authorized by law to receive such
information. A court of competent jurisdiction may obtain this
information in response to an order. The information may be
used for any nonstatistical purposes such as administrative,
regulatory, law enforcement, or adjudicatory purposes.
Disclosure limitation procedures are not applied to the
statistical data published from this survey's information. Thus,
there may be some statistics that are based on data from
fewer than three respondents, or that are dominated by data
from one or two large respondents. In these cases, it may be
possible for a knowledgeable person to estimate the
information reported by a specific respondent.
Company specific data are also provided to other DOE offices
for the purpose of examining specific petroleum operations in
the context of emergency response planning and actual
emergencies.

SANCTIONS
The timely submission of Form EIA-802 by those required to
report is mandatory under Section 13(b) of the Federal Energy
Administration Act of 1974 (FEAA) (Public Law 93-275), as
amended. Failure to respond may result in a civil penalty of
not more than $2,750 per day for each violation, or a fine of
not more than $5,000 per day for each criminal violation. The
government may bring a civil action to prohibit reporting
violations which may result in a temporary restraining order or
a preliminary or permanent injunction without bond. In such
civil action, the court may also issue mandatory injunctions
commanding any person to comply with these reporting
requirements.

Ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel intended for transport by pipeline
must satisfy pipeline specifications for sulfur content.
Pipelines may specify sulfur content less than 15 ppm for
ultra-low sulfur diesel. Exclude from downgraded volumes
any distillate fuel oil with sulfur content of 15 ppm or less if the
fuel was never classified as ultra-low sulfur diesel because it
