B10 MANDATE (cont’d)

Compa bility… “Regarding the B10 (10% biodiesel) mandate, compa bility of B10 in underground storage tank systems (USTs) and poten al enforcement concerns have been raised. The Minnesota Pollu on Control Agency (MPCA) is in charge of regula ng USTs in Minnesota. To clarify, while federal regula on and state rules require all USTs systems to be compa ble with the substance stored, only ethanol blends greater than 10% ethanol and biodiesel blends greater than 20% biodiesel (B20) must demonstrate compa bility with one of three op ons specified in the Environmental Protec on Agency’s June 17, 2011 guidance tled “Guidance on Compa bility of UST Systems with Ethanol Blends Greater than 10 Percent and Biodiesel Blends Greater than 20 Percent” located at h p://www.epa.gov/oust/compend/biofuels‐compat‐guidance.pdf. Therefore, facili es storing B10 do not need to demonstrate compa bility. Further, the MPCA will not require facili es to replace exis ng USTs equipment or components previously used to store and dispense B‐5 upon conversion to B10 in order to comply with Minnesota’s B10 mandate”. One final note regarding the B 10 mandate Weights and Measures will be looking for effort on your behalf to blend your current inventory up to 10% biodiesel by volume for the April 1 implementa on date. One way you may blend up your current diesel inventory is by pulling B 10during the last weeks of March and then going forward through the end of September. You may also wait un l April 1 and blend the appropri‐ate amount of b100 to your current inventory. If you blend up April 1 weights and measures will be look‐ing for a straight truck cket with the current inventory gallons and b100 gallons on the cket. The bio‐diesel s ckers are available at the Associa on office contact Ashley at 651‐484‐7227. If you have any oth‐er ques ons contact the Associa on office.

QUALIFYING SERVICE STATION CREDIT On March 1, 2015, Iowa increased its motor fuel excise tax on gasoline and diesel fuel by 10 cents per gallon. This increase raised Iowa’s tax rate above Minnesota’s Petroleum Tax rate. As a result, the Qualifying Service Station Credit is no longer in effect for fuel sales to Minnesota stations within 7.5 miles of Iowa stations that sell similar motor fuels. The credit is still available for sales to Minnesota stations within 7.5 miles of stations that sell similar fuels in North Dakota and South Dakota. For more details about this credit, see Minnesota Statute 296A.16, subd. 5. How does this change affect me? You can claim the Qualifying Service Station Credit on your February 2015 Petroleum Tax return (due March 23) for sales to qualify-ing stations near Iowa, North Dakota or South Dakota. After that, you can only claim the credit for sales to qualifying stations near North Dakota or South Dakota. When you file Petroleum Tax returns for March 2015 and later, do not use Schedule Code 5PI in your EDI or Text file. Questions? If you have questions about this change please contact the Petroleum Tax Unit at 651-296-0889 or email at petrole-um.tax@state.mn.us

IOWA FUEL TAX RATES CHANGE With the enactment of Senate File 257 on February 25, 2015, Iowa fuel tax rates change on March 1, 2015. The new rates are shown below, along with the rates prior to March 1, 2015. Iowa Fuel Tax Rates

Prior to March 1, 2015, tax rates for motor fuel, which includes ethanol-blended fuel classified as E10 or higher, and gasoline, were based on a fuel distribution percentage formula. The use of that formula and the resulting distinct tax rates for E10 and gasoline were scheduled to expire after June 30, 2015, when the tax on all motor fuel would have been 20 cents per gallon; the tax rate for all diesel fuel was 22.5 cents per gallon. Beginning March 1, 2015, a fuel distribution percentage formula as a basis for motor fuel tax rates, including distinct rates for E10 and gasoline, is extended and modified. In addition, the tax rate for diesel fuel, including biodiesel, increased by 10 cents per gal-lon and the rate of tax on special fuel for aircraft, also referred to as aviation jet fuel, increased from three to five cents per gal-lon. Additional rate changes will occur on July 1, 2015. Beginning July 1, 2015, a fuel distribution percentage formula will be estab-lished for diesel fuel as the basis for distinct tax rates for biodiesel blended fuel classified as B11 or higher and all other diesel fuel. There is no inventory tax associated with the rate increases.

Gasoline: New rate – 31.0 ¢/gal Prior rate – 21.0 ¢/gal

Ethanol Blended Gasoline New rate – 29.0 ¢/gal Prior rate – 19.0 ¢/gal

E85 New rate – 29.0 ¢/gal Prior rate – 19.0 ¢/gal

Diesel (including biodiesel) New rate – 32.5 ¢/gal Prior rate – 22.5 ¢/gal

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) New rate – 30.0 ¢/gal Prior rate – 20.0 ¢/gal

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) New rate – 32.5 ¢/gal Prior rate – 22.5 ¢/gal

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) New rate – 31.0 ¢/gal Prior rate – 21.0 ¢/gal

Aviation Jet Fuel New rate – 5.0 ¢/gal Prior rate – 3.0 ¢/gal

Aviation Gasoline No change in rate – 8.0 ¢/gal

PREVENTING CARD FRAUD AT THE PUMP

Credit card skimmers have become a popular way for criminals to steal valuable payment card information from retail customers. Fuel dispensers, which are less protected than in-store terminals, have been in-creasingly targeted by thieves. Card Skimmers: The Basics A card skimmer is a small piece of hardware that is physically attached to the card reader or PIN entry keypad. The equipment is capable of skimming information encoded on a card's magnetic stripe and send-ing it directly to scammers. How it Happens Skimmers are often installed during the early morning hours when few people are around. The thieves of-ten work in teams, with one person distracting the cashier while another installs the skimming device. Dis-pensers that face away from the store, especially those that sit at the far edge of the forecourt, are more vulnerable as are stations located near interstates and other heavily traveled routes. Spotting Skimmers Check fuel dispensers regularly for signs of tampering:

Scratches or cuts to dispenser panels or locks Keypads that seem raised more than usual - this might indicate a keypad overlay device designed

to intercept PINs Crooked or poorly-secured pieces on the card reader or keypad Mismatched parts - the keypad may look brand new while the rest of the dispenser appears weath-

er-worn High levels of bad card reads from the dispenser

Make sure your employees know what to look for when examining dispensers. You may want to photo-graph examples of unaltered dispensers so employees have a point of comparison to help them spot something suspicious. Tamper-evident labels on dispenser doors and panels can also alert you to possible problems. If an em-ployee or customer reports a suspicious dispenser, take it offline immediately and contact law enforce-ment.

MPCA OPENS GRANT FOR HEAVY-DUTY DIESEL UPGRADES; DEADLINE 3/31/15

New na onwide campaign includes $100 reimbursement for upgrading to EMV terminals.

American Express has officially launched its Small Merchant EMV Assistance Program. The na onwide campaign will help U.S. small merchants fight fraud through a $10 million reimbursement program designed to accelerate adop on of EMV payment terminals. It will also arm small merchants with knowledge about EMV’s security benefits. As part of the program, announced last October by President Obama, eligible merchants that have upgraded to an EMV terminal can request a one‐

me $100 reimbursement from American Express. AmEx will deliver educa onal resources about EMV to small merchants through email, a tele‐phone hotline and a website. A team of ambassadors – the American Express Fraud Squad – will also visit New York City, Atlanta, Miami and Hou‐ston to meet with small merchants and “spread the word about EMV and its benefits,” according to a press release. Payment card fraud is a top concern among small merchants. According to the American Express EMV Preparedness Survey, conducted in October 2014, more than two‐thirds (67%) of small merchants indicated that protec on against and preven on of payment‐card fraud was very important to running their businesses. Furthermore, 52% said that they feel they are at higher risk for payment card fraud than larger businesses, with nearly half of those small merchants ci ng a lack of money to invest in fraud preven on or a lack of access to experts who can assist them as the biggest reasons why. In addi on, more than a third of the surveyed small merchants said they either have not decided whether they will upgrade their payment termi‐nals or they do not plan to upgrade their payment terminals. Of those small merchants, 57% cited the cost of terminals as the main reason. “The Achilles heel for EMV merchant adop on will be small and micro merchants that are not only unprepared for EMV, but even unaware of the fraud‐liability shi in the U.S. this year,” said Nick Holland, head of payments, Javelin Strategy & Research. “The majority of small merchants lack the financial resources and exper se to make the transi on to EMV.” Beginning in October, U.S. merchants that do not have EMV‐enabled payment terminals and experience certain POS fraud may be held liable for the costs stemming from such incidents

AMERICAN EXPRESS TO HELP RETAILERS FIGHT FRAUD

The Minnesota Pollu on Control Agency (MPCA) invites owners of 2006 and older heavy‐duty diesel engines to apply for grants to upgrade or replace their engines

in order to reduce diesel emissions. MPCA has $150,000 in federal grant funding for installing pollu on controls and idle reduc on devices; or for replacing engines,

vehicles, or equipment.

Diesel engines help power our economy, but older diesel engines are notorious for crea ng air pollu on. Vehicles are responsible for about 30 percent of the air

pollu on in Minnesota. Older diesel engines create a higher propor on of fine par culate and nitrogen oxide pollu on than gasoline engines. Both fine par cle

pollu on and ozone (created, in part, by nitrogen oxide) can trigger respiratory and heart problems.

The EPA es mates that every dollar spent on diesel emission reduc on nets $13 in health benefits. Over the last seven years the MPCA’s clean diesel grant efforts

have helped to directly fund emission‐reducing improvements on 2,746 diesel engines in Minnesota including nearly 1,900 school buses.

In recent years, the MPCA has awarded grants to replace heavy duty engines on construc on equipment, garbage trucks, delivery trucks, and retrofi ed several

long‐haul trucks with diesel par culate filters.

“These grants usually provide around 40‐50 percent of the cost, except vehicle replacement projects which would be funded up to 25 percent,” said MPCA clean

diesel grants manager Mark Sulzbach. “New diesel engine emissions are 90 percent cleaner than pre‐2007 engines. The problem is, old diesels last forever. Clean

diesel grants contribute directly to improving public health, including the engine operator’s health, while helping the owner’s bo om line through improved perfor‐

mance and or efficiency.”

Owners of older heavy duty diesel engines are encouraged to take the opportunity to improve their fleet through a variety of EPA approved technologies, including

idle reduc on, pollu on controls, engine replacements, and new vehicle or equipment replacements

Vehicles and equipment generally must be 2006 and older and trucks must be class 6 (19,500 lbs.) or larger to qualify. Vehicles and equipment must also be fully

opera onal and not backup equipment.

For more informa on or to request applica on materials, contact contracts.pca@state.mn.us with the subject line: “Clean Diesel‐DERA 2015 Grant.” Applica ons

are due by 2:30 pm DST March 31, 2015. Please visit www.pca.state.mn.us/cleandiesel for more informa on including applicant ques ons and answers.

CONSUMERS OPTIMISM by NACS

Rising gas prices are taking a toll on consumer optimism about the economy, with optimism falling to its lowest level since August 2014. Consumer optimism fell from 54% to 44%, the largest decrease in opti-mism in more than two years, according to survey results released by the National Association of Conven-ience Stores (NACS). In the past month, gas prices rose 29 cents per gallon as refineries have begun the transition to produce the costlier summer-blend fuels that are required in many markets across the country. Over the past 15 years, gas prices have increased, on average, more than 50 cents per gallon during the February-to-May transition. Consumers expect the upward trajectory of gas prices to continue, as three in four (73%) believe gas pric-es will be higher in 30 days than they are today — a noteworthy increase from 58% in February. Weather may also play a role in consumer optimism. Consumer optimism was the lowest in the Northeast (37%), which has been battered by storms and cold weather this past month. “While prices are rising, retail gross margins on gas are falling and now average 10 cents per gallon, about half of the 19 cents per gallon that they have averaged over the past five years,” said NACS Vice President of Strategic Industry Initiatives Jeff Lenard. “After factoring in expenses — especially credit card fees — profit margins across the country are slim or negative at the fuel pump now.” With gas prices rising, consumers say they are more sensitive to the price at which they would change their behavior. The median fuel price consumers say they would try to reduce how much they drive is $3.50 per gallon, down from $4.00 this time last year. Similarly, the median price that consumers would seek out alternatives to drive is $4.14 per gallon, down from $4.70 in March 2014. Both of these figures are the lowest since NACS initiated the monthly consumer survey in January 2013. “This lowering of the price threshold would seem to give evidence to the theory that consumers become much more sensitive to a spike after a period of lower prices,” said Lenard. “Consumer optimism has fall-en to the level of August 2014, when gas prices were $3.50 a gallon, more than a dollar a gallon more than today.” There is some good news in the findings. Despite the rise in gas prices, nearly one in five (19%) consum-ers say that they will spend more money on consumer goods over the next 30 days, the highest level since December when holiday shopping surged. Younger consumers are most likely to spend and drive more this month. Of those ages 18-34, 27% say that they will shop more this month and 28% say that they will drive more, significantly higher than the overall average of 17%. Over the past five months, consumer optimism has closely tracked miles per dollar spent on fuel, which measures self-reported fuel efficiency and gas prices. NACS, which represents the convenience store industry that sells 80% of the gas sold in the country, con-ducts the monthly consumer sentiment survey to gauge how gas prices affect broader economic trends. The NACS survey was conducted by Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates LLC; 1,100 gas consumers were surveyed March 3-6, 2015. Summary results are at www.nacsonline.com/gasprices.

SHORT-TERM ENERGY OUTLOOK

Highlights

North Sea Brent crude oil prices averaged $58/barrel (bbl) in February, an increase of $10/bbl from the

January average, and the first monthly average price increase since June 2014. The price increase reflects news

of falling U.S. crude oil rig counts and announced reduc ons in capital expenditures by major oil companies,

along with lower‐than‐expected Iraqi crude oil exports.

EIA forecasts that Brent crude oil prices will average $59/bbl in 2015, $2/bbl higher than projected in last

month’s STEO, and $75/bbl in 2016. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) prices in 2015 and 2016 are expected to

average $7/bbl and $5/bbl, respec vely, below Brent. The Brent‐WTI spread for 2015 is more than twice the

projec on in last month’s STEO, reflec ng con nuing large builds in U.S. crude oil inventories, including at the

Cushing, Oklahoma storage hub.

The current values of futures and op ons contracts con nue to suggest very high uncertainty in the oil

price outlook (Market Prices and Uncertainty Report). Although WTI futures contracts for June 2015 delivery

traded during the five‐day period ending March 5 averaged $54/bbl, the market's expecta ons (at the 95%

confidence interval) for monthly average WTI prices in June 2015 range from $33/bbl to $81/bbl. The band

widens over me, with lower and upper limits of $32/bbl and $108/bbl for the broadly held December 2015

contract.

Total U.S. crude oil produc on was es mated to average 9.4 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in Febru‐

ary. Given EIA’s price forecast, projected total crude oil produc on averages 9.3 million bbl/d in 2015 and 9.5

million bbl/d in 2016, close to the 9.6 million bbl/d highest annual average level of U.S. produc on in 1970.

U.S. average regular gasoline retail prices increased for the sixth consecu ve week from $2.04/gallon (gal)

on January 26 to $2.49/gal on March 9, reflec ng rising crude oil prices and several outages at West Coast re‐

fineries. EIA expects U.S. regular gasoline retail prices, which averaged $3.36/gal in 2014, to average $2.39/gal

in 2015, an increase of $0.05/gal from last month’s STEO, and $2.73/gal in 2016. The average household is ex‐

pected to spend $710 less for gasoline in 2015 compared with last year because of lower prices.

Natural gas working inventories on February 27 totaled 1,710 billion cubic feet (Bcf), 492 Bcf (40%) above

the level at the same me in 2014 but 143 Bcf (8%) below the previous five‐year (2010‐14) average. EIA ex‐

pects the Henry Hub natural gas spot price, which averaged $4.39/million Bri sh thermal units (MMBtu) in

2014, to average $3.07/MMBtu in 2015 and $3.48/MMBtu in 2016, largely unchanged from last month’s STEO.

Much of the eastern United States experienced a very cold February, which resulted in increased electricity

demand for space hea ng. EIA es mates total U.S. genera on during February 2015 averaged 11,800 giga‐

wa hours (GWh) per day, which would be a monthly record for February. However, this es mated level of

genera on s ll falls short of the winter‐month record for total U.S. power genera on (12,178 GWh per day)

during January 2014.

Powdered Alcohol Gets Federal Approval…by NACS A powdered alcohol intended to be mixed into drinks has officially gained approval from a federal agency. Dubbed “Palcohol,” the product was approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (ATTTB) last April, but the agency almost immediately backtracked, ci ng an error. Recently, an ATTTB spokesman confirmed that the outstanding issues had been resolved and that four vari‐e es of Palcohol were now approved by the federal agency. However, since states can also regulate alcohol sales in their borders, it remains to be seen whether the controversial new product will be approved at the state level. Several states have already moved to ban powdered alcohol, ci ng concerns about abuse by minors and whether Palcohol’s light weight would make it easy to sneak alcohol in venues where it’s other‐wise prohibited. While the decision gran ng federal approval of Palcohol’s labels is considered the last step in the federal regulatory process, most alcohol regula on is done at the state level and several states have already banned the sale of powdered alcohol. Based on the informa on currently available, Palcohol is classified as a dis lled spirit so it is conceivable that any loca on currently selling dis lled spirits would be permi ed to sell the new product. Not all states allow convenience stores to sell dis lled spirits (some only allow beer and/or wine), so those states are likely unaffected. According to news reports, several states ‐‐ including Alaska, Delaware, Louisiana, South Carolina and Ver‐mont ‐‐ have already banned powdered alcohol, with more likely to follow. If a state classifies alcohol based on alcohol content or alcohol by volume, then the regula ons could vary based on what product/label was approved by ATTTB. In 2014, the Palcohol products ranged from 12‐60% alcohol by volume. The low end would put that in the range of most wines. Policies governing sales will largely depend on how each states’ statutes are wri en. Despite federal approval, some states have already banned Palcohol due to concerns about abuse of the product. According to a statement on the Palcohol website, the company hopes to have the product for sale this summer. NACS will con nue to track this product and keep members informed about how they may be affected as it comes to market.
