Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help

List of All Quarterly and Annual Reports 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 (EMTS) 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.

Below is a list of all the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) compliance reports.

For a step-by-step process on how to submit RFS reports, click the "How to report" tab.

For instructions on how to resubmit prior versions of reports, please email Fuel Programs Support: FuelsProgramSupport@epa.gov.

Report Submitters:

  • RIN Generators = Producers and importers of renewable fuel
  • Obligated Parties = Refiners and importers of non-renewable gasoline and diesel transportation fuel
  • RIN Owners only = Those who owned, bought, or sold RINs during a compliance period
  • Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) Providers = Independent third party auditors
