Can oxygen and benzene credits be transferred from the RFG area where they are created to another RFG area?

Benzene and renewable oxygenate credits may be transferred from the refiner or importer who creates the credits to any other refiner or importer who would use the credits. Oxygen credits may be transferred from the refiner, importer, or oxygenate blender who creates the oxygen credits to any other refiner, importer, or oxygenate blender who would use the credits.

Credits are not associated with any RFG covered area either when they are created or when they are used, so there is no restriction on credit transfers based on the specific RFG covered areas where the transferor or transferee refiner, importer, or oxygenate blender are located.(10/3/94)
