RFS2 2011 Activity Report

Issue Date: 07/23/2007
Revised: 04/20/2011

Report Form ID: RFSA101 (Amended)

The RFS0101 Amended RFS2 2011 Activity report is only applicable for RIN activity from January 1,
2011 through March 31, 2011. For RIN transactions that take place during April 1, 2011 through
December 31, 2011, EPA will release a revised report that reflects those requirements. This report is
applicable for any activity of RFS1 and RFS2 RINs transferred under RFS2 regulations. Supplemental
information for RFS2 RINs will be provided by EMTS after the end of each quarter. The EMTS
supplemental information must be used to populate the RFS2 required fields of this report; however
parties should not submit the EMTS Activity Report that is downloaded from EMTS. Please see the EPA
Fuels Programs Reporting page for more information: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/regs/fuels/rfsforms.htm.
Any party that owns RINs during a given quarter shall summarize all RIN activities for the reporting period
as described under §80.1451(c)(2). Reports must be submitted on separate reporting rows for
separated and assigned RINs (i.e. a company that handles both separated and assigned RINs will
submit 2 lines of reporting information.).
Obligated Parties with more than one registered facility may submit individual reports for each of their
facilities, or aggregate facilities into a single report. Obligated parties that are gasoline importers with
multiple import facilities must aggregate. Obligated parties who are both refiners and importers must
report refiner and importer information separately.
This report is due on May 31 for the first quarter of 2011 (January through March), and is not to be used
for any other reporting quarter.
Additional Notes
• All fields are required to be filled in.
•

Fields 12 through 21, 33 and 34 are only applicable for January and February, 2011. These
fields may contain values if applicable to the party; however, if not applicable the party must enter
“NA”.
