# RFS2 EMTS Informational Data The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS1) program was expanded under the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007. As of July 1, 2010, the RFS2 regulations require renewable fuel producers and importers, gasoline and diesel refiners, renewable fuel exporters, Renewable Identification Number (RIN) owners, and any other RFS2 regulated party to submit all RIN generation information and other RIN transactions to EPA Moderated Transaction System (EMTS). Using data generated from EMTS, EPA provides aggregated monthly data on RIN generation and renewable fuel volume production for specific fuel categories. The informational data presented in the tables below are designed to be used by RFS2 regulated parties. Those who require further explanation to understand the data should review the RFS2 regulations

. Quick Reference Information D-Code (D#) identifies the renewable fuel standard category for a particular fuel based on lifecycle analysis. For more information on how D codes apply to RINs, see the RFS2 regulations:40 CFR 80.1426. Equivalence Value (EV) is the number used to determine how many RINs shall be generated for each gallon of renewable fuel. For more information on equivalence values, see the RFS2 regulations: 40 CFR 80.1415.
Notes: The information presented below may change as it reflects a snapshot of data in the EMTS: 1. may change as it reflects a snapshot of data in the EMTS, 2. has been updated to reflect production date captured in EMTS. Previously, the data presented reflected transaction completed date, and 3. has been updated to reflect retirements of RINs for volume corrections and invalid RINs as identified by the renewable fuel producer as invalid.

8/24/2011 http://www.epa.gov/otaq/fuels/renewable fuels/compliancehelp/rfsdata.htmTotal Production by Fuel Type This table displays the total production of renewable fuels (in gallons) and total quantity of RINs in the RFS2 program for all captured 2011 months (in the table above) broken out by fuel type and category.

Total Available RINs to Date This table displays the total number of RINs generated, retired, locked, and available for all captured 2011 months, broken out by assignment. RINs may be retired for compliance purposes or other reasons (e.g. reported spills delayed RIN retirement) RINs may be unlocked/locked by registered company submitters at any time. RINs may only be separated (no longer assigned to a batch of renewable fuel) for specific allowed activities. For more information on RIN separation, see the RFS2 regulations: 40 CFR 80.1429. RINs must be separated before they can be used for compliance purposes by obligated parties or renewable fuel exporters.

Total 2011 RIN Generation Breakout This table displays the total number of RINs generated by importers, domestic renewable fuel producers, and foreign renewable fuel producers. These data include RIN generation from the first 5 business days of April. Foreign renewable fuel producer may generate RINs if they meet the RFS2 requirements (40 CFR 80.1466). Importers may generate RINs for fuel generated by fo reign renewable fuel producers (including undenatured ethanol producers) if the foreign renewable fuel producer does not generate RINs for that volume.

RINs may only be separated (no longer assigned to a batch of renewable fuel) for specific allowed activities. For more information on RIN separation, see the RFS2 regula tions: 40 CFR 80.1429. RINs must be separated before they can be used for compliance purposes by ob ligated parties or renewable fuel exporters.

Total 2010 RIN Generation Breakout This table displays the total number of RINs generated by importers, domestic renewable fuel producers, and foreign renewable fuel producers. Foreign renewable fuel producer may generate RINs if they meet the RFS2 requirements (40 CFR 80.1466). Importers may generate RINs for fuel generated by foreign renewable fuel producers (including undenatured ethanol producers) if the foreign renewable fuel producer does not generate RINs for that volume.
