Title: RFS Renewable Identification Number (RIN) Quality Assurance Program | |
Abstract: EPA is responsible for developing and implementing regulations to ensure that transportation fuel sold in the United States contains a minimum volume of renewable fuel. The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program regulations finalized in 2007 (RFS1) and 2010 (RFS2) were developed in collaboration with refiners, renewable fuel producers, and many other stakeholders. The RFS compliance program is based on the use of unique renewable identification numbers (RINs) assigned to batches of renewable fuel by renewable fuel producers and importers. These RINs can then be sold or traded, and used by any obligated party to demonstrate compliance with the applicable standard. It has recently come to EPA's attention that the production, transfer, and use of invalid RINs has resulted in violations for parties that were not aware that the RINs were invalid. This rule will address this problem to ensure that RINs have been appropriately generated. | |
