May a company have multiple designations? That is, may a company register as a refiner, an importer, a blender, and a marketer since aspects of our business cover all designations? Does each company have a designation, or can a company choose a designatio

As discussed above, a company is required to register as a refiner, importer, or oxygenate blender if it produces any reformulated gasoline. A company is also required to register as a refiner or importer if it produces conventional gasoline.
