Abstract: The Renewable Fuel 

Standard (RFS) program began in 2006 

pursuant to the requirements in the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) section 211(o) 

which were added through the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct). The 

statutory requirements for the RFS 

program were subsequently modified 

through the Energy Independence and 

Security act of 2007 (EISA), resulting in 

the promulgation of major revisions to 

the regulatory requirements on March 

26, 2010. The RFS program requires that 

specified volumes of renewable fuel be 

used as transportation fuel, heating oil, 

and/or jet fuel each year. To accomplish 

this, the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) publishes applicable 

percentage standards annually that 

apply to the sum of all gasoline and 

diesel produced or imported. Obligated 

parties demonstrate compliance with 

the standards through the acquisition of 

unique Renewable Identification 

Numbers (RINs) assigned by the 

producer or importer to every batch of 

renewable fuel produced or imported. 

This regulation will help EPA to 

monitor compliance with the RFS 

program and will ensure that the RIN 

system operates as originally intended. 

The data generated by the Quality 

Assurance Plan (QAP) program will 

assist obligated parties and smaller 

renewable fuel producers to comply 

with the requirements of the RFS 

program by supporting the validity of 

RINs. 

Form Numbers: EPA Forms 5900–354, 

5900–355, 5900–356, 5900–323, 5900– 

357, 5900–358, 5900–359, 5900–360, 

and 5900–361. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary (40 CFR part 80). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,222 (total). 

Frequency of response: Quarterly, 

yearly and semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 26,830 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $2,984,207 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 236,914 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This is due to a reduction in 

burden hours due to EMTS system’s 

automation structure.
