ULSD and LSD Pump Decal Q&A

Q. Will marketers be required to purchase the new ULSD (15-ppm) pump decal (that is effective Oct. 1, 2010) or can they still use their current decal?
A. Any fuel location dispensing highway (on-road) ULSD (15-ppm) must display the new decal containing the revised EPA-approved language.

Q. Why is the EPA changing the language for the current highway (on-road) ULSD?
A. In 2006, the EPA established a set timeframe for use regarding this particular label. The effective timeframe was June 1, 2006 – May 31, 2010. The EPA has revised the language on this label to exclude any references to model years since all vehicles are now included in the regulation.

Q. I am a fleet and I only fuel internal vehicles. Do I still need a label?
A. Yes. EPA requires all dispensers fueling on-road vehicles to be labeled appropriately.

Q. My diesel pumps fuel only off-road vehicles. Do I need this label?
A. No, you would need the off-road ULSD label. However, this label has not changed. It is still current under the EPA regulations. Click here if you need this label.

Q. Do marketers and distributors in California need to label their dispensers?
A. No. California has a federal EPA exemption from diesel labeling.

Q. Are utility companies (such as gas and electric companies) that have pump dispensers on company property and are used solely for company vehicles required to have labels?
A. Yes. The labeling requirements do apply to utility companies even if an entity never drives the vehicles off the premises (e.g., at a mining operation).
