accordance with the active version of American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM) D975 (Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel
Oils); or
(B) Marine Distillate fuel X (DMX), Marine Distillate
fuel A (DMA), or Marine Gas Oil (MGO) diesel fuel in accordance with
the active version of the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) 8217 Specifications of Marine Fuels.
(7) Final blend--A distinct quantity of diesel fuel
that is introduced into commerce as low emission diesel fuel (LED),
without further process.
(8) Further process--To perform any alteration to diesel
fuel, including distillation, treating with hydrogen, blending, or
addition of an additive, for the purpose of producing a diesel fuel
in compliance with the requirements of Subchapter H, Division 2 of
this chapter prior to the diesel fuel being introduced into commerce
as LED.
(9) Gasoline--Any fuel that is commonly or commercially
known, sold, or represented as gasoline, in accordance with the active
version of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D4814
(Standard Specification for Automotive Spark-Ignition Engine Fuel).

(11) Import facility--The stationary gasoline or diesel
fuel transfer point wherein the importer takes delivery of imported

fuel is transferred into the cargo tank truck, pipeline, or other
delivery vessel from which the fuel will be delivered to a bulk plant,
bulk purchaser/consumer, or retail fuel dispensing facility.
(12) Importer--Any person, except a person acting as
a common carrier, who imports gasoline or diesel fuel.
(13) Low emission diesel fuel (LED)--Any diesel fuel
that conforms to the requirements specified in §§114.312,

Standards; Designated Alternative Limits; or Alternative Emission
Reduction Plan, respectively).
(14) Motor vehicle--Any self-propelled device powered
by a gasoline fueled spark-ignition internal combustion engine or
a diesel fueled compression-ignition internal combustion engine in
or by which a person or property is or may be transported, and is
required to be registered under Texas Transportation Code, §502.040,
excluding vehicles registered under Texas Transportation Code, §502.140.
(15) Non-road equipment--Any device powered by a gasoline
fueled spark-ignition internal combustion engine or a diesel fueled
compression-ignition internal combustion engine that is not required
to be registered under Texas Transportation Code, §502.040.
(16) Produce--Perform the process to convert liquid
compounds into gasoline or diesel fuel or to further process diesel
fuel to create a final blend of LED.
(17) Producer--Any person who owns, leases, operates,
controls, or supervises a production facility that produces gasoline
or diesel fuel.
(18) Production facility--Any facility where gasoline
or diesel fuel is produced or that manufactures liquid fuels by distilling

dispensed into the fuel tanks of the motor vehicles and/or non-road
equipment using the fuel.
(20) Supply--To provide or transfer gasoline or diesel
fuel to a physically separate facility, vehicle, or transportation
system.
