1. (1) Fuels included. Credits and deficits must be calculated for all regulated fuels and clean fuels, except that:

   1. (a) Credits may be generated only for B100 that complies with an oxidation stability induction period of not less than 8 hours as determined by the test method described in the European standard EN 15751;
   2. (b) B100 that does not comply with subsection (a) can still be imported into Oregon and must be reported, but cannot generate credits for the CFP.
2. (2) Fuels exempted. Except as provided in sections (3), (4), and (5), credits and deficits may not be calculated for fuels exempted under OAR 340-253-0250. Exempt fuel volumes must be claimed by the end of the regular reporting period for a given quarter, otherwise DEQ will deem the fuel to have been voluntarily included under section (3).
3. (3) Voluntary inclusion. A registered party may choose to include in its credits and deficits calculations fuel that is exempt under OAR 340-253-0250(1) and fuel that is sold to an exempt fuel user in Oregon under 340-253-0250(2), provided that the credit and deficit calculation includes all fuels listed on the same invoice. Voluntarily included fuels cannot be claimed as exempt once the regular reporting period for that quarter has closed.

4. (4) When fuels are exported from Oregon:

   1. (a) Any bulk quantity of fuel that is exported must be reported by the person who holds title to the fuel when it is exported or the position holder if the party exporting the fuel is not registered under this program;
   2. (b) If the exporter purchased the fuel with the compliance obligation, the exported fuels will not generate deficits or credits;
   3. (c) If credits or deficits were generated and separated from the fuel through a transfer without obligation, the exporter will incur credits or deficits, as appropriate, to balance out the deficits or credits detached from the fuel; and
   4. (d) If the fuel was imported in one quarter and exported in another quarter, the exporter will incur credits or deficits, as appropriate, to balance out the deficits or credits, respectively, associated with the fuel when it was imported in the prior quarter.
5. (5) Alternative jet fuel. Alternative jet fuel may be reported by the producer or importer of the fuel and any registered parties that hold title to it, so long as it can be demonstrated that the fuel is loaded into aircraft in Oregon. If a gallon of alternative jet fuel that has been reported to the CFP as imported or produced is later exported, lost, or otherwise not used for transportation it must be reported as such.
