Attest Engagement Reporting for Fuels Programs
(ATT0100): Instructions for Registering and Reporting

Who must report
•

The attest auditor, whether a Certified Public Account (CPA) or Certified Internal
Auditor (CIA), must submit a final copy of the attest engagement report, and complete as
part of the submission a summary of each final attest engagement report, directly to EPA.
Attest reports should be submitted separately for each facility or if permissible and
appropriate, by company aggregation. Attestation of multiple program types (such as
RFS Obligated Parties and Gasoline Manufacturers) may be combined for each facility or
appropriate company aggregation. Each regulated party for activity and programs having
attest engagement requirements is responsible for causing submission of complete attest
engagement reports and meeting reporting deadlines.

Companies providing independent auditor services and regulated parties that utilize
certified internal auditor resources will need to register with OTAQ’s eRegistration
application in EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX). Individuals that submit attest
reports must register and associate with these companies. Furthermore, auditors and
