Abstract:
This Information Collection Request (ICR) includes all additional Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) related information collection activities resulting from the Modifications to Fuel Regulations to Provide Flexibility for E15; Modifications to RFS RIN Market Regulations final rulemaking. These information collection activities include new recordkeeping and reporting requirements finalized under 40 CFR Part 80, subpart M. All other RFS-related information collection activities will continue to be conducted under EPA ICR No. 2546.01, OMB Control Number 2060-NEW. The final rule details reforms to the RFS RIN market in an effort to improve market functioning and transparency. The reforms include: • Requiring public disclosure when RIN holdings exceed a certain threshold. • Taking additional steps to improve EPA’s market monitoring capabilities. Taken together, these reforms seek to discourage manipulative behavior in the RIN market including instances of RIN hoarding while offering EPA better insight into how the RIN market operates.
