List of Quarterly and Annual Reports for Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) - Compliance Year 2023
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.
