Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help

How often does EPA expect to audit refiners, importers, and distributors? Will such audits be conducted by EPA personnel or contract personnel?

The frequency of audits conducted at the above facilities will depend on a number of factors such as: general compliance rates, compliance history of individual facilities, EPA budget allowances, etc. Based upon the experience of past fuels enforcement programs, it is expected that the above facilities would be audited no more than once per year, unless circumstances would require audits at a greater frequency. These audits will be performed by both EPA and contract personnel.(7/1/94)
