Abstract: The Renewable Fuel
Standard (RFS) program began in 2006
pursuant to the requirements in the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:38 Feb 11, 2016
Jkt 238001
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.
