How to Report Quarterly and Annually for Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)

Required Procedures for RFS Compliance Reporting

Submitters are required to use e-signature to sign the Copy of Record for EPA Moderated Transaction System transactions. This procedure eliminates the past practice of submitting separate RIN Generation and RIN Transaction reports.

For a Job Aid on this task, see: How to Use e-Signature to Sign RIN Transaction Reports in EMTS.
