Marginal note:Records for high-renewable-content fuel
(3) A participant who creates a compliance unit under section 13 or 14 must make a record of the following information for each batch of high-renewable-content fuel that resulted from blending or was imported, as the case may be:
(a) information that establishes that the high-renewable-content fuel
(i) was sold in Canada for use as fuel in a combustion device and was identified as being high-renewable-content fuel in a cautionary statement in both official languages that identified its renewable fuel type, that specified its minimum renewable fuel content and that stated that it may not be suitable for some engines and that the owner’s manual ought to be consulted on this matter, which statement must have been
(A) on the fuel dispensing device that dispensed the fuel into a fuel tank of a combustion device, in a location and manner that allowed it to be easily read by a person while dispensing the fuel, or
(B) in a document provided, prior to the sale or transfer of the fuel, to the person who used it as fuel in a combustion device,
(ii) was used in Canada by the participant as fuel in a combustion device, or
(iii) was later blended at a blending facility to result in liquid petroleum fuel that was not high-renewable-content fuel;
(b) the type of combustion device, namely, a diesel engine, a domestic-type burner, a spark-ignition engine, a boiler, a furnace or another type; and
(c) the civic address of each facility to which the high-renewable-content fuel was delivered to be dispensed into a fuel tank of a combustion device and the date of that delivery.
Marginal note:Records for biocrude as feedstock
(4) A participant who creates a compliance unit under section 15 must, once per month, make a record that contains the following information related to the use of biocrude as feedstock during the previous month:
(a) the civic address and name, if any, of the production facility; and
(b) for each of type of biocrude so used,
(i) the month and year in which the biocrude was used,
(ii) the volume, expressed in litres,
(iii) the name of each person from whom the biocrude was acquired, if any,
(iv) if known, the name of each person who produced the biocrude, and
(v) if known, each type of renewable fuel feedstock that was used to produce the biocrude and the country of origin of that biocrude.
Marginal note:Records for neat renewable fuel
(5) A participant who creates a compliance unit under section 16 must make a record of the following information for the batch of neat renewable fuel in question:
(a) information that establishes that the neat renewable fuel
(i) was sold in Canada for use as fuel in a combustion device and, for neat renewable fuel that is biodiesel, was identified as being neat renewable fuel in a cautionary statement in both official languages that identified its type and that stated that it may not be suitable for some engines and that the owner’s manual ought to be consulted on this matter, which statement must have been
(A) on the fuel dispensing device that dispensed the fuel into a fuel tank of a combustion device, in a location and manner that allowed it to be easily read by a person while dispensing the fuel, or
(B) in a document provided, prior to the sale or transfer of the fuel, to the person who used it as fuel in a combustion device, or
(ii) was used in Canada by the participant as a fuel in a combustion device;
(b) the type of combustion device, namely, a diesel engine, a domestic-type burner, a spark-ignition engine, a boiler, a furnace or another type;
(c) the type of neat renewable fuel and the volume, expressed in litres, of the batch;
(d) the date on which the batch was sold or used;
(e) the name and the civic address of the neat renewable fuel consumer in respect of the batch;
(f) the civic address of each facility where the neat renewable fuel was dispensed into the fuel tank of the combustion device;
(g) the name, civic address and telephone number of the person, if any, from whom the neat renewable fuel was acquired and of the person who produced the neat renewable fuel, if known; and
