All oil manufacturers must prepare and submit to CalRecycle a report in accordance with the general requirements for reporting contained in section 18614 of this Chapter.

Each quarter, manufacturers must submit reports which include:

(a) The amount, in gallons, of lubricating oil sold monthly in California;

(c) The amount, in gallons, of finished lubricating oil containing at least 70% rerefined base oil sold monthly in California;

(d) The amount, in gallons, of finished industrial oil containing at least 70% rerefined base oil sold monthly in California; and

(e) The total amount of fees due pursuant to Section 48650 of the Public Resources Code.

The total amount of fees due must be calculated by subtracting exemptions from the fee calculated based on total sales of lubricating oil.

(1) The fee calculated based on total lubricating oil sales must be calculated by the following procedure:
(A) Multiply the number of gallons of lubricating oil sold during the quarter that does not contain at least 70% rerefined base lubricant by $0.24 per gallon;

(B) Multiply the number of gallons of lubricating oil sold during the quarter that contains at least 70% rerefined base oil by $0.12 per gallon.
(i) A minimum of 70% of the base oil portion of a finished lubricant must be rerefined oil in order to qualify for the $0.12 per gallon fee as described in Section 48650(c) of the Public Resources Code.

(ii) Oil manufacturers paying the reduced fee for finished lubricants containing rerefined base lubricant shall identify to CalRecycle what facility produced the rerefined base oil that was used in their finished lubricants.

(2) The amount of exemptions must be calculated by the following procedure:
(A) Indicate the number of gallons of oil that are exempt per PRC Section 48650(a)(1)-(5), by category;

(B) Multiply the number of exempt gallons of lubricating oil sold during the quarter that do not contain at least 70% rerefined base lubricant by $0.24 per gallon;

(C) Multiply the number of exempt gallons of finished lubricating oil sold during the quarter that contains at least 70% rerefined base oil by $0.12 per gallon

Reports must be submitted to CalRecycle on or before the last day of the month following each quarter, as defined in Section 18601 of this Chapter. For example, lubricating oil sold during the quarter commencing October 1 and ending December 31 must be reported by January 31.
