# §1090.1115. PTD requirements for distillate fuel and residual fuel.

- (a) **General requirements.** On each occasion when any person transfers custody or title of any distillate fuel or residual fuel, other than when fuel is sold or dispensed to the ultimate end user at a retail outlet or WPC facility, the transferor must provide the transferee PTDs that include the following information:
  - (1) The sulfur per-gallon standard that the transferor represents the distillate fuel or residual fuel to meet under [subpart D](/cfr/40/subpartD.md) of this part (e.g., 15 ppm sulfur for ULSD or 1,000 ppm sulfur for ECA marine fuel).
  - (2) An accurate and clear statement of the applicable designation(s) of the distillate fuel or residual fuel under [§ 1090.1015](/cfr/40/1090.1015.md) (e.g., “ULSD”, “500 ppm LM diesel fuel”, or “ECA marine fuel”).
  - (3) If the distillate fuel or residual fuel does not meet the sulfur standard in [§ 1090.305(b)](/cfr/40/1090.305.md?p=b) for ULSD, the following statement: “Not for use in highway vehicles or engines or nonroad, locomotive, or marine engines.”
- (b) **500 ppm LM diesel fuel language requirements.** For batches of 500 ppm LM diesel fuel, in addition to the information required under [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section, PTDs must include the following information:
  - (1) **The following statement—** “500 ppm sulfur (maximum) LM diesel fuel. For use only in accordance with a compliance plan under [40 CFR 1090.515(g)](/cfr/40/1090.515.md?p=g). Not for use in highway vehicles or other nonroad vehicles and engines.”
  - (2) [Reserved]
- (c) **ECA marine fuel language requirements.** For batches of ECA marine fuel, in addition to the information required under [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section, PTDs must include the following information:
  - (1) **The following statement—** “1,000 ppm sulfur (maximum) ECA marine fuel. For use in Category 3 marine vessels only. Not for use in Category 1 or Category 2 marine vessels.”
  - (2) A party may replace the required statement in [paragraph (c)(1)](#c-1) of this section with the following statement for qualifying vessels under [40 CFR part 1043](/cfr/40/part1043.md): “High sulfur fuel. For use only in ships as allowed by MARPOL Annex VI, Regulation 3 or Regulation 4.”
  - (3) Under [40 CFR 1043.80](/cfr/40/1043.80.md), a fuel supplier (i.e., the person who transfers custody or title of marine fuel onto a vessel) must provide bunker delivery notes to vessel operators.
- (d) **Distillate global marine fuel language requirements.** For batches of distillate global marine fuel, in addition to the information required under [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section, PTDs must include the following information:
  - (1) **The following statement—** “5,000 ppm sulfur (maximum) Distillate Global Marine Fuel. For use only in steamships or Category 3 marine vessels outside of an Emission Control Area (ECA), consistent with MARPOL Annex VI.”
