No motor fuel shall be sold or offered for sale at a retail facility in Kentucky unless
it conforms to the following:
(a) The motor fuel shall be labeled and posted in accordance with applicable
federal and state laws; and
(b) The motor fuel shall conform to the latest ASTM International specifications
for that particular type, class, and grade of motor fuel, except when one (1) or
more of the following circumstances exists:
1.
When a federal law or a federal administrative regulation imposes
requirements in conflict with the ASTM International standard, as
provided by KRS 363.902(3); or
2.
When the Governor determines that circumstances present, or are likely
to present, a disruption in motor fuel supply, the Governor or the
Commissioner or the secretary of the Energy and Environment Cabinet,
as designated by the Governor, may issue a temporary waiver of ASTM
International specifications for motor fuel. The temporary waiver shall
be effective for a defined period of time and shall be the shortest
practicable time period necessary to permit the correction of the
disruption in motor fuel supplies.
For gasoline-oxygenate blends containing between one percent (1%) and fifteen
percent (15%) by volume ethanol, the vapor pressure limit for each class shall be
increased by one (1) pound per square inch. Additionally, the department shall
adopt a minimum temperature for fifty percent (50%) distillation of gasolineoxygenate blends containing up to fifteen percent (15%) ethanol through the
promulgation of an administrative regulation in accordance with KRS Chapter 13A.
The motor fuel compliance with ASTM International shall be determined in
accordance with the test methods prescribed in the latest ASTM International
publications. When no such standard exists, the department shall designate a test or
specification based upon widely accepted scientific principles.
All shipments of motor fuel shall state on either the product transfer documentation
or invoice the destination of the shipment and that the shipment meets the standards
and specifications required in the administrative regulations promulgated pursuant
to this section. The division may obtain a sample of any shipment of motor fuel for
testing. Motor fuel blending components shall be exempt from this section until
they are offered for sale as motor fuel by a retail facility.
