Programs

RFGSA is an independent not-for-profit trade association. Our program participants (gasoline refiners/importers, ethanol producers/importers, blenders and other obligated parties) form a consortium of companies who have voluntarily chosen an industry compliance option to meet their various Federal and State regulatory fuel compliance requirements.
