Who must report
The RFS2 Renewable Biomass Report is for RIN-generating producers and importers and
biointermediate producers to provide supplemental feedstock information for feedstocks used
to produce biointermediates, renewable fuels and generate RINs under RFS2.
Any producer or importer, except those subject to the aggregate approach in 80.1454(g), that
generates RINs or produces biointermediate for the production of renewable fuels for which
RINs will be generated during a given quarter for renewable fuel made from feedstocks or
biointermediates that are or are derived from planted crops and crop residue from existing
agricultural land, planted trees or tree residue from actively managed tree plantations, slash or
precommercial thinnings from forestlands, or biomass obtained from areas at risk of wildfire,
shall summarize and submit information verifying that the feedstocks meet the definition of
renewable biomass, as required in 80.1451(d).
RIN-generating renewable fuel producers and biointermediate producers reporting for more
than one registered production facility and importers reporting for more than one registered
foreign facility must submit data for each facility on separate report rows.
Reports must be submitted individually for each separate plot of land from which
feedstocks were harvested, and additional electronic files that identify each plot of land
by coordinates of the points defining the boundaries of each plot simultaneously
submitted.
