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.

RFS Reporting – Compliance assistance

Use the table below to identify reporting requirements under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program. Requirements are separated by compliance year and organized by the regulated entity and activity type. The linked reporting instructions or job aids provide detailed instructions on required data fields and formatting.

This table is only intended to provide a high-level overview of the most common reporting requirements in the RFS and does not contain every possible reporting requirement or scenario. Please consult the regulations for all reporting requirements.
