  What's needed for a
successful program?
 The Arizona Department of Weights and Measures is working on a new rule package that will modify Article 7, the section of Department regulations governing fuels. The rulemaking will clearly define requirement for product transfer documents. In addition, they will incorporate the most current ASTM Standard and develop a biofuels registry. In addition the rules changes will examine reporting requirements, biodiesel labeling requirements, and gasoline fuel standards. http://www.azdwm.gov/BUSINESS/VaporRecovery/FUELRulemaking/tabid/287/Default.aspx
