RFS Reporting Requirement Continues
If you are a RIN generator, obligated party, RIN owner, exporter, QAP provider, petitioner for aggregate compliance, or other third party, you must continue mandatory registration, recordkeeping, and reporting under 40 CFR parts 80 and 1090. The information collection request (ICR) is being submitted for extension (currently approved through November 30, 2025) and responses are required quarterly, annually, or on occasion.
Estimated Industry Burden and Annual Cost
EPA estimates 28,804 respondents will spend a total of 767,353 hours per year on RFS reporting, with total estimated costs of $22,724,608 per year. These are the annual totals reported for the information collection.
EPA Reduced Burden Through Improvements
EPA reports a decrease of 93,617 hours in estimated respondent burden compared with the currently approved ICR due to completed one-time tasks, improvements in reporting methods such as the unified reporting format (URF), removal of some reporting steps and stand-alone forms, and EPA providing secure systems that respondents use to register and transact RINs.
