Instructions for Completing


Who must report

  • The RFS0801 RFS2 Renewable Biomass Report is for RIN-generating producers and importers to provide supplemental feedstock information for feedstocks used to produce renewable fuel and generate RINs under RFS2.

  • Any producer or importer, except those subject to the aggregate approach in 80.1454(g),that generates RINs during a given quarter for renewable fuel made from feedstocks that are 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 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.


Reporting deadlines

  • Producers and Importers shall report on a quarterly basis:
