OMB Control No. 2060-0725
Expires xx/xx/xxxx
The RFS0901 RFS2 Production Outlook Report is required for registered RIN generating renewable fuel producers and importers to provide expected renewable fuel production or imports at each registered and planned facility, pursuant to §80.1449.
The report is used to submit renewable fuel volume production and import expectations, and RIN generation expectations. Parties are required to provide renewable fuel volumes and RINs on separate rows of this report. Parties may only report one D code, feedstock, and fuel type per row.
Renewable fuel producers who are not registered and accepted with the RFS2 program may choose to submit the information contained in this report on a voluntary basis.
Reports indicating zero projected production value are required to be filed for any registered RIN
generator.
This report is due annually on June 1.
The following fields have been updated:
• All fields are required to be filled in.
• All fields have been updated to reflect that the information must be reported for both VOL and
RIN submissions.
• Field 6: Company/Entity ID: Any company who is not registered and accepted with the RFS2 program who is choosing to submit the RFS0901 on a voluntary basis must enter a company ID of 9999.
• Field 13: Feedstocks: All feedstocks must be reported on separate rows of this report, regardless of the D code.
• Fields 16 through 27: Projected renewable fuel production or RIN generation for the month is required.
• Fields 28 through 31: Projected renewable fuel production or RIN generation total for the year is required.
Note: If a code has been introduced after the last revision date on this form, please refer to the EMTS Reporting Codes and Fuel Pathways for the correct code (e.g. approval of petition under 40 CFR
80.1415). This document can be found on the EMTS Documents webpage:

Strategic Planning Date |

MM/DD/YYYY; Date. Please enter in the projected date of any current strategic planning for any planned new construction or expansion in the next five (5) calendar years. If a potential strategic planning date is unknown or not yet planned, enter “NA”. Note: If “RIN” entered in line 9, enter “NA”. This field is required for both “VOL” and “RIN”. Description: Strategic planning occurs once upper management has determined that a regulation will affect a facility—it is at this stage that upper management decides on a response to the regulation that will position the company most advantageously relative to its competitors. Input may include order-of-magnitude estimates of what compliance costs could be; or, how the bottom line may be affected if the decision is made not to comply and to instead shift product into other markets. Specific planning begins once management determines that, strategically, compliance will be necessary and will require the expenditure of significant capital. The decision to hire an outside engineering firm may be made at this time. The length of time required for this stage varies by facility or company, depending on size, complexity, and the number of facilities. It is nearly impossible to precisely project how much time a specific refinery may need to complete this stage. |

If planning/front-end engineering is unknown or not yet planned, enter “NA”. Note: If “RIN” entered in line 9, enter “NA”. This field is required for both “VOL” and “RIN”. Description: Accurate and complete information is gathered during this stage so that preliminary process engineering work can proceed; and initial contacts made with technology vendors to find the best, least expensive technology options. Detailed engineering cannot begin until this stage is mostly complete. The length of time required for this stage varies by facility. |
35. |
Detailed Engineering/ Permitting Date |
|
MM/DD/YYYY; Date. Please enter the projected date of any detailed engineering and permitting that has taken place or will take place for any planned new construction or expansion in the next five (5) calendar years. If detailed engineering/permitting is unknown or not yet planned, enter “NA”. Note: If “RIN” entered in line 9, enter “NA”. This field is required for both “VOL” and “RIN”. Description: Detailed engineering usually overlaps with the preceding and the following stages, and includes construction planning and procuring contracts (since actual construction cannot be started until construction permits are issued). |

MM/DD/YYYY; Date. Please enter the projected date of any procurement and construction that has taken place or will take place for any planned new construction or expansion in the next five (5) calendar years. If a procurement/ construction date is unknown or not yet planned, enter “NA”. Note: If “RIN” entered in line 9, enter “NA”. This field is required for both “VOL” and “RIN”. Description: This stage necessarily overlaps with the preceding stage. Procurement includes purchasing long- lead items necessary for construction of a new facility; once permits are issued, construction can begin in earnest. |

Commissioning/ Start-up Date |

If a commissioning/start-up date is unknown or not yet planned, enter “NA”. Note: If “RIN” entered in line 9, enter “NA”. This field is required for both “VOL” and “RIN”. Description: Depending on the complexity of the project, commissioning and startup usually happen together. A critical part of commissioning and startup is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) “Process Hazard Analysis”, a very complicated and time consuming, multi-part procedure that must be completed and signed-off on before startup can proceed. For this, accurate, final construction and as-built drawings, including complete piping and instrument diagrams, must be completed. |
