Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help

If blenders either opt not to trade or are not allowed to trade, who will be responsible for tracking these RINs through the system?

The blender must submit quarterly RIN transaction reports to EPA that will document all RIN transactions, including RIN purchases, RIN sales, and expired RINs. RINs that are reported purchased and thereafter are not sold will be identifiable through these reports. See regulation Section 80.1152(c).
