(a)
Requirements for Attestation Letter.
Each fuel pathway
						application must include a fuel pathway applicant attestation letter. The
						attestation letter must attest to the veracity of the information in the
						application packet and declare that the information submitted accurately
						represents the long-term, steady state operation of the fuel production process
						described in the application packet. The attestation letter must conform to the
						requirements of this subsection. The fuel pathway applicant attestation letter
						must make the following specific attestations:
(1) No products, co-products, by-products, or
						wastes undergo additional processing, such as drying, distillation, or
						clean-up, once they leave the production facility, except as explicitly
						included in the pathway life cycle analysis and pathway CI.
(2) All data and information supplied is true
						and accurate in all areas, including, but not limited to the following:
(A) Feedstocks used to produce the
						fuel;
(B) Fuel and feedstock
						production technology;
(C) Regions
						in which feedstocks and finished fuel are produced;
(D) Modes used to transport feedstocks and
						finished fuel and the transport distances involved;
(E) Types and amounts of thermal and
						electrical energy consumed in both feedstock and finished fuel
						production;
(F) Full life cycle
						carbon intensity, which must be no higher than the carbon intensity specified
						in the Lookup Table, or Tier 1 or Tier 2 application; and
(G) Fuel production
						operations.
(3) The
						signed LCFS fuel pathway applicant attestation letter must:
(A) Be submitted as an electronic
						copy;
(B) Be on company
						letterhead;
(C) Be signed by an
						officer of the applicant with the legal authority to attest to the veracity of
						the information in the application and to sign on behalf of the
						applicant;
(D) Be from the
						applicant and not from an entity representing the applicant (such as a
						consultant or legal counsel); and
(E) Include the following attestation:
I certify that the current fuel production process used
						  to produce ____________________ (fuel) at the _________________________
						  facility is consistent in all of the following areas with all information
						  submitted to CARB in connection with the pathway request:
1) feedstocks used in fuel
						production;
2) fuel and feedstock
						production technology;
3) geographic
						region in which feedstocks and finished fuel are produced;
4) transportation modes used to transport
						feedstocks and finished fuel and transport distances;
5) types and amounts of thermal and
						electrical energy consumed in both feedstock and finished fuel production;
						and
6) any other applicable fuel
						pathway standard or operating condition established by CARB. The carbon
						intensity (CI) of the fuel must be no higher than the CI for the certified FPC.
I understand that the following facility information
						  will be posted on the LCFS web site: Facility Name, Facility Address, Company
						  ID, Facility ID, Fuel Pathway Code(s), CI values, and Fuel Pathway
						  Description(s).
By submitting this form, ______________________________
						  (Fuel Pathway Applicant) accepts responsibility for the information herein
						  provided to CARB. I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the
						  State of California that I have personally examined, and am familiar with, the
						  statements and information submitted in this document. I certify that the
						  statements and information submitted to CARB are true, accurate, and
