This web page contains reporting forms and instructions for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program (40 CFR 80 Subpart K). Any party that generates or owns RINs in a calendar quarter must report to EPA for that quarter. The following list identifies the reports that each type of reporting party must submit:
- RIN Generators (renewable fuel producers and importers)
- RFS0100 RFS Activity Report

- RFS0400 RFS RIN Generation Report
- Renewable Fuel Exporters and Obligated Parties (gasoline refiners and importers)
- RFS0100 RFS Activity Report

- RIN Owners (parties who own RINs during the compliance period)

- RFS0200 RFS RIN Transaction Report
Reports due quarterly (RFS0100, RFS0200, RFS0400) are due within 2 months of the end of the calendar quarter. Reports due annually (RFS0300) are due by the end of February following the compliance year.
These reports are to be submitted via EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX). To register for a CDX user account or to register a company or facility for the RFS program, please visit our Fuels Programs Registration page.

Alternative filing procedures for non-CDX users
If your company has not completely set up a CDX account before the August 1, 2008 CDX deadline, you may mail your reports using the following procedure:
1) Place all report files on a disk (CD-ROM or diskette).
2) Provide a printed hard copy of every report.
3) Provide a cover letter on company letter head that states “I certify that, to the best of my knowledge, the information included in this submission meets all applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 80, Subpart K.” The letter must be signed by a responsible corporate officer (no delegates) and must identify the reports being submitted.
Please send your submission to one of the following addresses. When using a commercial delivery service, do not use the U.S. mail address (or vice versa) as your mail will be delayed, may be returned to you, or may even never arrive at our offices.
