Chapter 1.   User Manual for  OTAQ  Registration

In accordance with the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA establishes fuel quality standards to
help protect public health and the environment from harmful gas and particulate matter
emissions from motor vehicles and engines.  The Central Data Exchange (CDX) is the system
that EPA has provided to all its Program Offices to  standardize and centralize all the reporting
functions and data submissions that are required of the various industries and communities,
which are regulated by EPA.

OTAQ has developed the DC Fuels online application to assist the fuel manufacturing
community to more easily comply with reporting requirements by completing them online. The
OTAQ Registration online application was developed to assist in this effort by allowing users,
companies, and facilities to enter and maintain certain required information concerning them.

This is the User Guide for the OTAQ Registration online application.

1.1   Support

CDX maintains a Help Desk for the use of registered  users of CDX and those who are in
process of registering for CDX. They can assist you with getting your account set up initially
(including the necessary permissions to  use OTAQ DC  Fuels and OTAQ Registration), and
assist you with obtaining a Digital Certificate (if you will be submitting information to DC Fuels).
Additionally, there is a Help Desk specifically for OTAQ DC Fuels and OTAQ Registration,
intended to assist existing registered users of these two systems who have questions or
difficulties using them.

There are three support options available for general  and technical questions related to the
Central Data Exchange (CDX):

   •  Telephone - Person-to-person telephone support is available from the CDX Help Desk
      8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. (EST). Call our toll-free  line at 888.890.1995 and select Option 5.
   •  E-mail  - Send an e-mail to Technical Support at epacdx@csc.com with "OTAQ Fuel
      Tech Support" listed in the  subject line.
   •  Fax - Assistance requests are accepted 24/7 at 301.429.3905. Support personnel will
      respond to faxed requests Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. (Eastern).
There are two support options available  for technical questions related to OTAQ DC Fuels and
OTAQ Registration:

   •  Telephone - Person-to-person telephone support is available from the Verify/OTAQ Help
      Desk 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.  (Eastern). Call our toll-free line at 888.890.1995 and select
      Option 4.
   •  E-mail  - Send an e-mail to the Verify/OTAQ Help Desk at verifyhelp@csc.com.

If you have questions about the content, formats, or policies for OTAQ Fuel Submissions
information, contact EPA at 202.343.9755. You may  also find the answer to your question at
the OTAQ FAQ Pages at http://fuelsprograms.custhelp.com.

Any suggestions for enhancements to the OTAQ Fuel System or OTAQ Registration direct to
christian.scott@epa.gov.

Note that when you click on the 'ID' field you will see a popup message displayed prompting you
to enter the value 'N/A' into that field.  This field is used by many of the applications within CDX,
but not by OTAQ Registration. Nevertheless it is a required field and some value must be
entered there. You may enter anything you please within reason; it will have no bearing on the
success or failure of your registration or your subsequent use of OTAQ Registration.
The CDX Registration Success Page will be displayed.  See Figure 8 below.

At this time, you have completed registering as a CDX user.  You have also obtained
permission to use the OTAQ Registration application.  Please click on 'OTAQREG: Fuels
Programs Registration' under 'Available Profiles' and proceed to the next section of this User
Guide.
2.3   Adding  OTAQ  Registration to Your Existing CDX
        Account
If you are already, a user of OTAQ DC Fuels you may want to add OTAQ Registration to your
existing user account.  If you are receiving an error message that reads 'You do not have the
Submitter role' when you attempt to use OTAQ DC Fuels you must sign up with OTAQ
Registration in order to correct that situation. This is discussed in more detail in Section 3.5. It
is a good idea to obtain permission to use OTAQ Registration in any case.  EPA recommends
that all OTAQ users obtain an account on OTAQ Registration.

                      Figure 12. OTAQ Registration Home Page for a New User

This is the Home Page that most users will see the first time they enter OTAQ Registration. This
is because OTAQ Registration has no record of you yet (using your CDX user id or your email
address to match you up). Registering for CDX and obtaining permission to use OTAQ
Registration does not automatically enter your user data in OTAQ Registration.  This section will
explain how to use "New User" to accomplish that.

U. S. EPA CDX                                      User Manual for OTA Q Registration
                                        Please Note:

        If you DO NOT have a 'New User' link on your home page and DO have additional links
        such as "View ","Edit ", "Nominate on behalf of
        ", and "Update User" (see Figure 26 at the beginning of Chapter 4
        below for an example), then your User Profile has already been entered into OTAQ
        Registration.  This is either  because a) your User Profile information has been migrated
        from the existing OTAQ DC Fuels application or b) you have been Nominated by
        another user and EPA has approved the Nomination.  Nomination is discussed in
        Section 4.5.1, 'If You Have  Been Nominated', of this User Guide below.
3.1    User Information

Click on "New User". The OTAQ Registration User Edit page should be displayed.  See Figure
15 below.  Notice that all the applicable information from your CDX Registration was migrated
over from CDX into OTAQ Registration.  This information is not yet present in OTAQ
Registration, but will be when you save and Submit this session.
Items that are required are noted by the presence of a red asterisk (*). Note that the only
required field that is not already filled out is 'Position or Job Title'.  You must supply this
information.

In addition to the required fields, you must select roles for you, the user.  'Company Viewer' is
selected by default. This default role will only allow you to view your Company's information. If
you will be maintaining you company's registration information you must select 'Company
Editor' in lieu of 'Company Viewer'.  If you will be submitting reports you must select
'Submitter'as well. If you will be nominating other, people from your Company to be users you
must select 'Nominator'.

You may fill out any or all of "Middle Initial", "Valid To Date", "Address Line 2", "Alternate Email",
"Phone Extension", "Alternate Phone", "Alternate Phone Extension", or "Fax Number".  Note that
"Valid From Date" has been filled in, defaulted to today's date. You may edit this if you wish. It
may be set to today's date, a date in the past, or a date in the future.  If you set it to a future
date, you will not be able to  use OTAQ Registration until that date arrives.

OTAQ Registration provides a calendar date  entry tool as a convenience.  This is accessed by
clicking on the 'Calendar' button beside the Valid From and Valid To entry boxes. See Figure
13 below.

Please take note of the area at the bottom left of the illustration that reads "Click Here for more
time:". The CDX servers enforce a 20-minute timeout policy; if no action is seen in a user's
session in 20 minutes, that user is automatically logged out. Unsaved data is lost, and the next
interaction will be automatically redirected to the CDX Login page. This notification is a
"convenience function" in that it tells the user how much time is remaining on the timeout clock
and offers a quick way to reset that clock by clicking on the notification itself.  In addition, there
is a 5-minute warning  popup box that has a button to reset the timeout clock. See Figure 14
below.

Enter the appropriate information about your company. All data entry fields are required with
the exception of Valid To, Address 2 and RCO Phone extension.  Make sure to choose all
applicable entries under Program Type and Business Activities.

Please review the information under the Help button for definitions of the Business Activities and
select only the ones that pertain to your Company as per the regulations.  If you select any
activity other than 'RIN  owner', you must fill out facility information. Biodiesel producers must
select the 'Diesel' program type.
3.3    Facility Information
As part of defining a new company, a new user may choose to search for one or more existing
facilities and associate them with the new company, or define a new facility to associate with the
new company. This is optional; a new company may be defined and submitted for approval
without any facilities associated with it, and a company's facilities may be added, deleted, or
edited at any time.

The OTAQ  Registration  currently has more than 6000 facilities defined in its database. If your
company is using an existing facility, the chances are good that it is already defined. To  search
for a facility, click on the Facility Info tab at the top of the data entry area on the OTAQ
                                            3-19

If you need to define, a new facility then you should enter all appropriate data on the page
shown in Figures 21 or 22 below, depending on whether you choose to define a Gas/Ethanol
facility or a Diesel/Biodiesel facility. As with the other data entry screens, the required fields are
marked with a red asterisk (*).
Note near the bottom that you must indicate whether you store records for this facility onsite,
offsite, or both. If you store records offsite, you must fill in some information about the offsite
storage location and contact. See Figure 23 for details of this.
Notice the area near the top in Figure 21 and 22 labeled 'Associated Facilities'. The first time
you  define your company; this is empty except for the 'Enter New Facility' button. This indicates
that there are no facilities currently associated with your company.

                                            Very Important!

         The correct way to define and associate one or more new facilities is to fill out the data

The system will review your entries for correctness and completeness (only digits in phone
numbers, all fields marked 'required' have been filled in, etc.) If the system detects any errors it
will place text in red at the top of the page indicating which pages have errors and where the
errors are on the current page (see Figure 26 below,  "Typical Error Messages"). Note that the
error  messages that refer to data on the current page are 'hyperlinked'; i.e., if you click on the

Notice that there are some instructions and some mailing addresses.  Please read them
carefully. This is important! You are required to print out a paper document, sign it, and send it
to EPA.  They must receive this to process your application.  You may access these documents
(in .pdf format) via the link contained in the sentence 'Print the registration forms  (click here)'
near the bottom of the page.  Note that the addresses are also contained  in the printed
documents.
                                                Very Important!

         You must print, sign, and mail these documents!  (Or use a delivery service such as
         UPS, Fedex, etc.) EPA will not take any action on your New User submission until they
         are received.
 After you have printed the documents, please select the button next to the sentence 'I have
printed this form and understand that I  must mail it properly signed to one of the above
addresses.' The system will not allow you to click the 'Continue' button at the bottom of the

It is now time to mail your documents and wait for EPA to review your New User submission.
Please give the process a few days for your documentation to be received at EPA and for them
to review it. You may click the 'Continue'  button if you wish. You will be redirected to your
OTAQ Registration Home Page. There will be a message displayed on that page indicating,
"The system has detected that you have been registered but not yet approved."

3.5   A Note on the Submitter Role

The Submitter role is currently mapped to a separate Web application within CDX. This
application is known as 'OTAQ DC Fuels Submission'. In order to submit OTAQ reports via the
Web, you will need permission to use this application. OTAQ has already 'granted' this
permission by approving your New User submission, Nominee submission, or Update User
submission that contained the Submitter role as selected for the Company you wish to submit
for. You will be notified by email once OTAQ has granted this permission.

However, you will need to call the CDX Help Desk at 1-888-890-1995 option 5 and
specifically ask for this application to be added to your CDX User Profile once you have
received this email. They should have received an automatically generated message
informing them of the OTAQ Approver's decision and this should be easily done. If not,  please
contact the OTAQ Help Desk at 1-888-890-1995 option 4 and they will assist in sorting out any
difficulties. Alternatively, you may refer to the DCFUEL User's guide available at
http://www.epa.gov/otaq/regs/fuels/fuelsregistration.htm

Please keep in mind that you will have to apply for and receive a Digital Certificate in order to
successfully submit Confidential Business Information. (All OTAQ Reports are considered CBI,
unless otherwise noted by the submitter.)  In order to obtain the Certificate you will have to print,
sign, and mail a Digital Signature Agreement. This agreement should have been presented to
you as part of your registration process. It is also available by selecting 'Digital  Certificate' from
the left-side menu of your MyCDX Homepage (after you have obtained the OTAQ DC Fuels
Submission role). The process of applying for and obtaining a Digital Certificate is explained
fully in the OTAQ DC Fuels User Guide, which is available from either the CDX OTAQ Help
Desk or the EPA OTAQ Help Desk. Please  note there is a sample letter on the last page of the
print out that contains the Digital Signature Agreement.  This is required for all users that are not
                                        3-28

delay your company registration.

3.6   A Note for Existing OTAQ  DC Fuels Submitters

The OTAQ DC Fuels Submission application has been updated to 'cooperate' with OTAQ
Registration. Now, it accesses the data kept by OTAQ Registration to determine which
Companies a user has the Submitter role for, and presents that information to the user. If the
user has this role for more than one Company, the user will be prompted to select which
Company he/she is submitting for on this session. The user will then be prompted to verify the
RCO information on file for that Company. If the user says 'Yes', they will be allowed to
proceed to the OTAQ  DC Fuels Submission application. If the user says 'No', they (and all
users associated with  that Company) will be deactivated pending EPA resolution of the RCO
information.

Every effort has been  made to pre-register all existing OTAQ DC Fuels Submitters with OTAQ
Registration. However, this was of necessity a manual operation working with imperfect
information, and some users may not be pre-registered correctly or at all.

If you have not accessed OTAQ DC Fuels Submission application in some time, you may be
presented with the following message: "Either your user account with OTAQ Fuels Registration
has expired, or you do not have the Submitter role for any  active, valid companies." (See figure
30 below.) If this happens, it is because you do not yet have an active account profile in OTAQ
Registration. You will need to add the OTAQ Registration role to your CDX  Profile as explained
above and perform a New User submission, remembering to check the Submitter role and to
search  for and select the appropriate Company to associate with yourself.

3.7    Summary
The minimum you need to do to submit your user information to the OTAQ Registration system
is to sign up with CDX, select OTAQ Registration, enter the OTAQ Registration system, select
New User, provide a Position or Job Title, search for, locate, and select a company to associate
with, and submit your information for approval. All other data are optional, and can be entered
later by editing your profile, editing your company, defining new facilities or facility associations,
etc.

U.S. EPA  CDX
User Manual for OTAQ Registration
Chapter 4.    Using OTAQ Registration

After you have successfully composed and submitted as a New User, EPA will review your
submission. This will include waiting  for your printed and signed copy of the submission
information, calling you and/or your RCO to confirm details of your submission, or other
activities.  Be sure to print a copy of the .pdf file that was presented to you at the completion of
your New User submission, sign it, and mail it to the indicated address.

When EPA approves your New User  submission, the  roles that you requested will be shown on
your OTAQ Registration Home Page. (This assumes that EPA did not make any changes to
your submitted information.  EPA can edit any submission before it is approved.) You should  be
able to View one or more companies, Edit one or more companies, and/or Nominate on behalf
of one or more companies.  Figure 31 below presents a typical Home Page with  roles  displayed
for two companies.
If you see a Home Page similar to Figure 32 below, it is because you have submitted your New
User request but it has not yet been approved by EPA.  You may call EPA at 202-343-9755 to
enquire as  to the status, or you may log back in later to see if it has been approved.

There are 5 general activities possible from the Home Page - Update User, New Company,  Edit
, View , and Nominate on  Behalf of .  Note that not all
users will have all of these available to them.

All users will have Update User. This is the function provided for you to update your own
information in OTAQ Registration.  Additionally, this is where you would associate or de-
associate with one or more companies.

All users (with a few exceptions) will have the Nominate role for each company they are
associated with.  This allows you to start the registration process for another person in your
company.  It is essentially the same as performing a "New User" submission for someone other
than you.
Generally,  a user will have the View or Edit roles for a given company, but not both.  Both roles
allow access to all the information about a company that is stored in OTAQ Registration,
including the facilities associated with that company.  Edit allows a user to change that
information and submit the changes to EPA for approval, including information about the
associated facilities.  Editing a company includes being able to associate and de-associate
existing facilities and define  new ones.

Update User is the name of the function within OTAQ Registration where a user manages his or
her own information. This would include your name,  address, email address, and company
affiliations.
4.2.1    Update User
Every user will have a 'User Info' tab and a 'New Association' tab. In addition, there will be one
tab for each company that a user is currently associated with. This tab will display and manage
the companies that the user is associated with, and the roles that go with each of those
assignments.  Each required field is marked with an asterisk.  Since this is not a New User, all
required data should already be present. The  exception to this is if your data was migrated from
the existing CDX OTAQ DC Fuels submission  application. In that case, the first time you edit
your data  you will need to enter a Position or Job Title.  Your Valid From date should default to
the date you first registered in OTAQ DC Fuels.

                                      Very Important!

        For now, any time that you edit/update your User Profile EPA requests that you print a
        copy of the Review and Submit screen and have your RCO sign it to indicate his/her
        concurrence. This signed copy MUST be mailed to EPA before the changes will be
        approved. The next release of the software will include functions to assist with this
        process.
4.2.2   Edit Company Affiliation
Each Company tab lists the Name and Company/Entity ID of one company you are affiliated.  It
also displays the roles assigned to you on behalf of that company. You may edit these role
associations via the use of the checkboxes provided. If you select Submitter or Company
Editor, you must have a signed Digital Signature Agreement on file with EPA/CDX.  The system
will present you with an Agreement and prompt you to print it out, fill it out, sign it, and mail it in.

4.2.3   New Association

The Update User New Association tab allows a user to request that a new Company association
be established for him/her. It works the same as the Company Search tab in the New User
page. The user enters information about the company they wish to associate with and clicks
Search.  A list of companies that match that information is displayed, and the user selects one
from that list.

There is no way to request an association to a new Company from this screen. An existing user
must first perform a New Company submission and wait for EPA to approve the Company
before being able to associate themselves to that Company. See Figure 36 for the New
Association tab.

4.3    New Company
Every user has the ability to submit a new Company for approval/registration to EPA. The New
Company submission process works very similarly to the process for defining/submitting a new
Company as part of the New User Registration process.


                                     Very Important!

       For now, any time that you submit a new Company request EPA requests that you print
       a copy of the Review and Submit screen and have that Company's RCO sign it to
       indicate his/her concurrence. This signed copy MUST be mailed to EPA before the
       changes will be approved. The next release of the software will include functions to
       assist with this process.

Required data is indicated with a red asterisk. One or more Program Type selections are
required, as is one or more Business Activity selections.
You may define one or more new Facilities to associate with the New Company at the time you
submit the New Company.  You may also associate the new Company with one or more
existing Facilities. Neither of these is required; you may define and submit a new Company with
no Facility information. If the Company is approved by EPA, it is possible to create or associate
Facilities with it via the use of the Edit Company function.
                                      Very Important!

       The correct way to define and associate one or more new facilities is to fill out the data
       entry area, then click 'Add Facility to List'.  You must perform this step or your facility
       data will not be transmitted to EPA for approval.

                  Figure 39. New Company Associate with Existing Facility
4.4    View Company
View Company is provided so that a User may be allowed to look up and discover information
about one or more Companies that they are associated with but not be able to edit or change
that information. Typically a user will not be granted View Company and Edit Company for the
same Company, as there would be no advantage to having both a read-only and a read-write
view of the same information.  However, selecting both will not cause a problem.

The View Company screen looks exactly like the Review and Submit screen on the Edit
Company function, and will not be reproduced here.
4.5    Edit Company
This is the function provided to edit the information that OTAQ maintains on every company. Not
every user will have a role to edit Company information for any or all of the Companies they are
associated with. Therefore, the "Edit " menu choice as shown in Figure 33 above
may or may not be available on your particular OTAQ Registration home page.

The Edit Company Details page is shown in Figure 40 below.  Every required field is marked
with a red asterisk, and should already be filled in.  Note that the Company ID field is NOT
editable.  Make the necessary changes and press 'Review and Submit'.  If no errors are found,
your edits will be reflected in the read-only page that is presented.  If there are errors, there will
be red error messages at the top of the edit page.  Those messages are hyperlinked to the data
causing the error (you can click on an error message and be taken to the 'offending' data
directly).  If there are no errors, you will be presented with a read-only page of data that reflects
the changes you wish to make. Click 'Submit' for your changes to be transmitted to EPA for
review and approval.

-------
U. S. EPA CDX                                      User Manual for OTA Q Registration
The Edit Company page also has an Associated Facilities tab (See Figure 41 below). This is
where you may review the data concerning each Facility that is associated with your Company.
At the top there is a list of the associated Facilities.  Clicking the 'Show' link next to one will
display the information about that Facility below the list.  Clicking the 'Delete' link will delete the
association between your Company and that Facility - not the Facility record itself. At this time,
there is  no way for the Facility data itself to be edited, since Facilities may be shared between
two or more Companies.

Again, press 'Review and Submit' if you have made any new associations or deleted any
existing ones.  Your changes will be reflected in the read-only page that is presented. Click
'Submit' for your changes to be transmitted to EPA for review and approval.

                Figure 42. Edit Company - Associate with Existing Facility tab

You may also search for an existing Facility record to associate with your Company via the
Facility Search tab. OTAQ recommends that you try this first, as there are over 6000 Facilities
already listed in the system.  It is likely that the one you need is already in the system, and re-
using an existing Facility definition will save time and increase the accuracy of the data in the
Fuels Registration database by possibly avoiding establishing two records for the same Facility.
Please see Section 3.3, "Facility Information" above for more detail as to how to use this
function.


4.6    Nominate  User

Users may nominate another person to be a user of the OTAQ Registration system. This is
very similar to the New User function, except that you are entering data on behalf of someone
other than yourself. In addition,  the Registration system will only allow you to Nominate on
behalf of a Company that has given you permission for this role. That is to say, when you
Nominate a new user they will automatically receive the Company ID of one given Company
and you will not have any opportunity to change that.

Not every user will have a  role "Nominate on  behalf of " for any or all of the
Companies they are associated  with. Therefore, the "Nominate" menu choice as shown in
Figure 33 above may or may not be available on your particular OTAQ Registration home page.

Figure 43 shows the Nominate User page. The information is the same as for the New User
function.  Required information is designated with a red asterisk. The calendar widget is
available as a shortcut for entering dates into the Valid From and Valid To fields.

Note that since each of the Roles listed is optional (a given user may or may not possess each
or any of them) it is possible to submit a Nomination without any Roles chosen at all, and this
will  pass the system's error-checking function. Please remember to select one or more Roles
for the Nominated person; otherwise, the person will possibly be approved and registered for
the  OTAQ Fuels Registration system, but will not be able to actually do anything when they log
in!

As with all data entry pages in the OTAQ Fuels Registration system, press 'Review and Submit'
when you are finished entering data. If there are errors, there will be red error messages at the
top  of the Nominate User page. Those messages are hyperlinked to the data causing the error
(you can click on an error message and be taken to the 'offending' data directly). If there are no
errors, you will be presented with a read-only page of data that reflects the Nomination you wish
to make. Click 'Submit' for your Nomination to be transmitted to EPA for review and approval.


4.6.1    If You  Have  Been Nominated

If you have been Nominated by another user to become an OTAQ Registration user, you will
first establish a user account with CDX just the same as if you were entering the system for the
first time. The first difference is that you will have received an email from the OTAQ Fuels
Registration system directing you to do so, with a document attached showing the data the
Nominator had entered concerning you.  The second difference will be that you will have an
OTAQ Fuels Registration Home Page that is already populated with the roles that the
Nominator selected for you, and you will not have to go through the New User process.  Note:
the  OTAQ Fuels Registration system uses your email address as the identifier to discover
whether you are a Nominee or a New User.  This means it is very important to enter it correctly!

Appendix A.   Terms and  Definitions


Company Editor:
An individual delegated by the Responsible Corporate Officer who can edit the company's
registration information and provide the Responsible Corporate Officer with the forms to sign
and mail in. Not delegating a user to do this will mean that only the responsible corporate
officer can edit the company's information.

Company Viewer:
User with this role can only view the company's registration information. It is suggested all
users have this role.

Nominator:
An individual delegated by the Responsible Corporate Officer who can nominate other users for
the system and provide the Responsible Corporate Officer with the forms to sign and mail in.
Not delegating a user to do this will mean that only the responsible corporate officer can
nominate users to use this system.

Submitter:
An individual that can submit reports on a company's behalf.  This is a longer registration
process and the user must further register with EPA to receive a digital signature. This role will
allow the user to submit information electronically. If the user is not a Responsible Corporate
Officer, the Responsible Corporate Officer must delegate them and accept responsibility for the
user's reports as instructed.

Valid From:
Date the user may begin using the system.

Valid To:
Date the user's access to the system is no longer valid.

Responsible Corporate Officers, Business Owners and Delegated Individuals:
The various fuels reporting programs implemented by the  Office of Transportation and Air
Quality (OTAQ) contain regulatory language requiring that reports submitted to EPA be signed
and certified by a responsible corporate officer (RCO) or owner.

The Fuels Reporting  Program, implemented using EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX),
provides an electronic reporting method that is secure and completely paperless. An RCO or
owner establishes a personal CDX account and applies for and obtains a digital certificate.  The
digital certificate enables the RCO or owner to electronically sign and certify reports submitted
to EPA. Alternately,  EPA will accept reports that are signed by someone to whom the
responsibility is delegated by an RCO or owner.  One or more individuals, who are employees
of the company, and  who are familiar with the information  being submitted, may be named by
an RCO or owner, if the delegations are made in writing, on company letterhead.  The letter
must be signed by an RCO or owner and must include a statement acknowledging that, the
RCO or owner and their delegate(s), are responsible for report information submitted. The

-------
U. S. EPA CDX                                     User Manual for OTA Q Registration
following information must be provided for each person to whom reporting authority is
delegated:
Each person to whom reporting authority is delegated by an RCO or owner will be required to
set up a personal CDX account, apply for, and obtain a digital certificate, enabling them to
electronically sign and certify reports submitted to EPA.
Responsible Corporate Officers may also delegate reporting to a third party non-employee, for
example, a consultant who prepares reports or the company lawyer. In order to do so the RCO
must follow the instructions on the CDX Information page.

Programs (Select all that apply)
Title 40 CFR Part 80 Registration is based on programs you must report to comply with. For
example, if you are from a company that only blends renewable fuel into gasoline and is going
to take ownership of Renewable Identification Numbers, you only need to select RFS.
However, if you were a blender of gasoline blendstocks you would need to also select gasoline
and comply with the gasoline programs.
Gasoline (Registration for compliance with Subparts D, E, G, H, J, and L).
Diesel (Registration for compliance with Subpart I, please note all Biodiesel producers must
comply with part I).
Renewable Fuel Standard (Registration for compliance with Subpart K).
Business Activities (Select all that apply)
Refiner (All programs; Refiner of petroleum products, see 80.2).
Biodiesel Producer (Subparts I and Konly; Producer of Biodiesel, see 80.1101 (h)).
Oxygenate Blender (Subpart D only).
RIN Generator (Subpart K only, must be selected by all who import or produce renewable fuel
as defined by Subpart K).
Pipeline/Pass-Through Terminal (Subpart I only).
Truck Loading Terminal (Subpart I only).
Importer (All  programs; Importer of petroleum products, see 80.2).
