The 2007 nonroad pre-compliance reports showed that: 122 refineries are planning to produce 15 ppm diesel fuel by June 1, 2014. 18 refineries are either undecided as to their plans, or are choosing to produce only heating oil. Refiners have projected an increase in diesel fuel production from 2010 through 2014. Refiners are taking advantage of the flexibilities offered by the regulations (18 refineries said they generated early high sulfur credits in 2006 and 2007, 10 refineries plan to generate early 500 ppm credits in 2009 and 2010, small refiners are utilizing all of the options available to them). Total highway and NRLM diesel fuel (total diesel fuel) production and importation in each Petroleum Administration for Defense District (PADD) is projected to grow from 2010 through 2014. Refiners project an increase in expected production and importation of total diesel fuel beginning June 1, 2010, compared to the 2006 nonroad pre-compliance reports.

Refiners and importers that are planning to produce or import 15 ppm nonroad, locomotive, and marine (NRLM) diesel fuel after 2010 are required to submit annual pre-compliance reports to EPA. This document provides a summary and analysis of the reports that were received in June 2007, including some comparisons to the NRLM pre-compliance reports received in June 2006. The pre-compliance reports generally showed that: refiners are implementing plans to produce 15 ppm nonroad diesel (NR) fuel by 2010 and 15 ppm locomotive and marine diesel (LM) fuel by 2012; total diesel fuel production is projected to increase from 2010 through 2014; refiners are utilizing the flexibilities offered by the regulations; Total diesel fuel production in each PADD is projected to remain constant or increase; and, beginning June 1, 2010, production and importation of total highway + NRLM diesel fuel are projected to increase compared to the 2006 nonroad pre-compliance reports.
