95488.2 do not apply to entities seeking to report fuel transactions for the
fuel pathways listed in 95488.1(b)(1).
(a)
Production and Intermediate
Facility Registration. All production facilities and intermediate
facilities from which site-specific operational data is relied upon in
determining the CI score for a pathway must be registered in the AFP. All of
the following fields that apply are required:
(1) Production company name and full mailing
address.
(2) U.S. EPA Company ID
for fuels covered by the federal RFS program. For fuels not covered by the RFS
program, the AFP system will generate a Company ID.
(3) Company contact person's contact
information.
(A) Name
(B) Title or position
(C) Phone number
(D) Mobile phone number
(E) Email address
(F) Company web site URL
(4) The fuel production facility name and
address, for each proposed pathway.
(A) For
biomethane to vehicle fuel pathways, the fuel production facility is the
upgrading facility that purifies or otherwise produces biomethane that meets
the applicable standards for pipeline or vehicle-quality natural
gas.
(5) The names and
addresses of any intermediate facilities, for each proposed pathway.
(A) For biomethane to vehicle fuel pathways,
intermediate facilities that must be registered include the liquefaction
facility, and the location where biogas or other biomethane feedstock is
produced, if that location is not also the upgrading facility that is
registered as the fuel production facility.
(B) For any feedstock whose supplier applies
using site-specific CI data, the feedstock-processing facility must be
registered as an intermediate facility for the fuel pathway in which the
feedstock is utilized.
(6) U.S. EPA Facility ID for fuels covered by
the federal RFS program. For fuels not covered by the RFS program, the
Executive Officer will assign a Facility ID.
(7) Facility geographical coordinates (for
each facility covered by the proposed pathways). Coordinates can be reported
using either the latitude and longitude or the Universal Transverse Mercator
coordinate systems.
(8) Facility
contact person's contact information.
(A)
Name
(B) Title or
position
(C) Phone number
(D) Mobile phone number
(E) Email address
(9) Facility nameplate production capacity,
or maximum expected throughput, in million gasoline gallon equivalents per year
or other appropriate units. This information is required for each facility
contributing site-specific data to the proposed pathways, including
intermediate facilities in the supply chain.
(b)
Pathway Registration.
All of the following fields that apply are required.

(A) Name
(B) Title or position

etc.)
(3) Feedstock
(4) Brief pathway description (one to two
sentences describing the technology, transport mode, and any non-standard
co-products)
(5) Proposed pathway
carbon intensity value
(6)
Estimated annual fuel production quantity under the proposed pathway (estimated
minimum, maximum, and average), in the applicable units specified for reporting
in 95491(d)(1) through (5).
(7)
Classification. The fuel pathway applicant must declare
whether the proposed fuel pathway falls under the Lookup Table, Tier 1 or Tier
