Proposed Information Collection 

Request; Comment Request; 

Recordkeeping and Reporting for the 

Renewable Fuel Standard Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Recordkeeping and Reporting for the 

Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) 

Program,’’ EPA ICR No. 2546.03 OMB

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
8014 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 29 / Friday, February 11, 2022 / Notices 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

This ICR package is a renewal of an 

existing collection, ‘‘Recordkeeping and 

Reporting for the Renewable Fuel 

Standard Program,’’ OMB Control 

Number 2060–0725, expiring August 31, 

2022. The RFS regulations are in 40 CFR 

part 80, subpart M. Because it is more 

efficient and easier for regulated parties 

to understand, we seek to consolidate 

the following approved ICRs into this 

collection: 

• Modifications to Fuel Regulations 

to Provide Flexibility for E15; 

Modifications to RFS RIN Market 

Regulations (Final Rule), OMB Control 

Number 2060–0723, expiring November 

30, 2022; and 

• Renewable Fuel Standard Program: 

Standards for 2020 and Biomass-Based 

Diesel Volume for 2021, Response to the 

Remand of the 2016 Standards, and 

Other Changes (Final Rule), OMB 

Control Number 2060–0728, expiring 

December 31, 2023. 

When this ICR renewal of 2060–0725 

is complete, and once it is approved by 

OMB, we will seek to cancel 2060–0723 

and 2060–0728, as they will no longer 

be necessary. 

What is the RFS program? 

The RFS program was created under 

the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), 

which amended the Clean Air Act 

(CAA). The Energy Independence and 

Security Act of 2007 (EISA) further 

amended the CAA by expanding the 

RFS program. EPA implements RFS in 

consultation with U.S. Department of 

Agriculture and the Department of 

Energy. The RFS program is a national 

policy that requires a certain volume of 

renewable fuel to replace or reduce the 

quantity of petroleum-based 

transportation fuel, heating oil or jet 

fuel. 

Obligated parties under the RFS 

program are refiners or importers of 

gasoline or diesel fuel. Obligated 

parties, and exporters of renewable fuel, 

must meet an annual Renewable 

Volume Obligation (RVO). Parties meet 

their RVO by blending renewable fuels 

into transportation fuel, or by obtaining 

credits (called ‘‘Renewable 

Identification Numbers’’, or RINs). EPA 

calculates and establishes RVOs every 

year through rulemaking, based on the 

CAA volume requirements and 

projections of gasoline and diesel 

production for the coming year. The 

standards are converted into a 

percentage and obligated parties must 

demonstrate compliance annually. RINs 

are the credits that obligated parties use 

to demonstrate compliance with the 

standard. RINS are generated by 

producers and importers of renewable 

fuels and traded by various parties. 

Obligated parties must obtain sufficient 

RINs for each category to demonstrate 

compliance with the annual standard. 

To track compliance with the RFS 

program, various parties involved with 

the production and blending of 

renewable fuels, and who generate, 

trade, or use RINs, must register with 

EPA, and submit various types of 

compliance reports related to the 

activity they engage in under the 

program. Our estimates as to burden are 

explained in the supporting statement 

that has been placed in the public 

docket. Domestic and foreign entities 

may be subject to these regulations and 

to the associated information collection. 

The RFS program was developed with 

certain flexibilities, including for small 

entities such as small refiners and small 

refineries, small blenders, and small 

volume production facilities and 

importers. 

What are the recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements associated with 

the RFS program? 

The reporting requirements of the RFS 

program typically fall under registration 

and compliance reporting. 

Recordkeeping requirements include 

product transfer documents (PTDs) and 

retention of records that support items 

reported. Recordkeeping and reporting 

are based upon the role the party fills 

under the regulations. A party may be 

registered in more than one role. Basing 

the recordkeeping and reporting upon a 

party’s roles in the program ensures that 

parties must sustain only the burden 

necessary under the program. EPA 

continuously assesses its registration 

and reporting systems to provide the 

best possible service to the regulated 

community and to enhance, simplify, 

and streamline the experience. Because 

RFS relies upon a marketplace of RINs, 

EPA has created and maintains the EPA 

Moderated Transaction System (EMTS) 

capable of handling a high volume of 

RIN trading activities. 

Who are the respondents for the RFS 

program? 

The respondents to this ICR are: RIN 

Generators (producers and importers of 

renewable fuel), Obligated Parties 

(refiners and importers of gasoline and 

diesel), Exporters (of renewable fuel), 

RIN Owners, independent third-party 

Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) 

Providers, Third Parties (Auditors who 

submit reports on behalf of other 

respondents), and certain petitioners 

under the international aggregate 

compliance approach (such petitions are 

infrequent). These parties and their 

associated information collections are 

described in detail in the supporting 

statement and tables, which have been 

placed in the docket.

Respondents/affected entities: RIN 

Generators, Obligated Parties, RIN 

Owners, Exporters, QAP Providers, 

Third Parties (Auditors) and Petitioners 

under the international aggregate 

compliance approach. These parties 

include producers and importers of 

renewable fuels and refiners and 

importers of gasoline and diesel 

transportation fuels. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

The RFS program represents a mixture 

of voluntary and mandatory reporting, 

depending upon activity. A single party 

may register with multiple program 

roles—e.g., a party might be both an 

obligated party and a RIN owner. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

45,473. 

Frequency of response: On occasion/ 

daily, quarterly, annual. 

Total estimated burden: 859,218 

hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: The total cost 

(labor and non-labor) is $78,703,548, of 

which $16,428,454 is non-labor costs 

(all of which are purchased services). 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

decrease in 68,670 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR(s) 3 currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is due to several 

factors, including a change in the 

number of respondents and certain, onetime requirements that have now been 

accomplished by respondents (e.g., onetime programming to comply with 

reporting; initial registration of certain 

respondents).
