Abstract: This ICR is for certain provisions of the RFS program which is required by the Clean Air Act and implementing regulations in 40 CFR parts 80 and 1090. The following provisions established in the RFS Standards for 2023-2025 and Other Changes final rule are most relevant to this information collection: -- Biogas-derived renewable fuel requirements to ensure that biogas is produced from renewable biomass and used as a transportation fuel and to allow for the use of biogas as a biointermediate (“biogas regulatory reform”) -- Requirements for third-parties pertaining to engineering reviews, the RFS quality assurance program, and annual attest engagements. -- Recordkeeping requirements for waste feedstocks, including separated food waste (SFW) The RFS program relies upon marketable credits (Renewable Identification Numbers or RINs) to function, which necessitates registration, recordkeeping and reporting requirements for the type and number of RINs generated, sold, retired, etc. EPA uses the information to monitor compliance with the RFS and to ensure the integrity of the RIN market.
