                     IMPORTANT REMINDER:

                     Regulated parties are urged to conduct due diligence investigations and
                     exercise caution when conducting gasoline sulfur and benzene credit
                     transactions. Neither EPA nor its systems, including the EPA Moderated
                     Transaction System (EMTS), certify or validate gasoline sulfur or benzene
                     credits. As specified in the regulations at 40 CFR 80.315(b)(2) and 40 CFR
                     80.1295(b)(2), invalid gasoline sulfur and benzene credits cannot be used for
                     compliance, regardless of the party's good faith belief that the credits were
                     valid at the time they were acquired.

Introduction

This user's guide is intended to help users transact credits for the Sulfur and Benzene Averaging,
Banking, and Trading (ABT) program using the EPA Moderated Transaction System (EMTS).

Manage Fuels ABT Holdings

To view your Sulfur and Benzene ABT credit holdings, hover over Fuels ABT Credits on the main
menu of the EMTS website and select Fuels ABT. Only Non-renewable Fuel Importers and Refiners
may participate in the Fuels ABT program; if your organization is not registered with one of those
business activities in the OTAQ Registration system (OTAQREG), you will not see the Fuels ABT
Credits menu or any related functionality. The Manage Fuels ABT Holdings screen is organization-
specific (indicated by the organization name above the Fuels ABT Credit Holdings grid).  To switch
the organization for which you are viewing credit holdings, open  the Organizations tab of the
accordion in the top right corner of the screen, and click "Select a Different Organization."

If you view the Manage Fuels ABT Holdings screen before your organization has completed any
generate or buy transactions, the Fuels ABT Credit Holdings grid will be empty. At this point, you can
generate or buy Fuels ABT credits (the only valid transaction types when there are no Fuels ABT
Holdings) by clicking the Generate (Refiner), Generate (Importer) or Buy button. If your organization
is only registered as either a non-renewable fuel importer or a refiner, then you will only see one
"Generate" option. You can also buy and generate credits using the "I want to..." drop-down menu in
the empty Fuels ABT Holdings grid. See the "Generating Fuels ABT Credits" section  below for
additional information.

Once you have completed a generate transaction or successfully purchased credits from a trading
partner, the Fuels ABT Holdings grid will display your credits (see Figure 1).

Each row in the Fuels ABT Holdings grid represents a unique combination of Credit Type and Credit
Year.  For each row, the sum of credits in the Available, Pending, and Reserved columns equals the
number of credits in the Total column.  The credits  in the Available column are credits that are
available for you to use in transactions.  The credits in the Pending column are credits that are
involved in a pending  sell transaction that you have initiated  (see the "Trading Credits" section
below). The credits in the Reserved column are credits that are  associated with transactions in the
Fuels ABT Transaction Bin (see the "Managing the Credit Transaction Bin"  section below).  The
credits in the Locked column are credits that have been locked to prevent their inclusion in trades.
Fuels ABT Credits can be locked and unlocked using screens accessed from the "I want to..." column
in the Fuels ABT Holdings grid (see the "Locking and  Unlocking  Fuels ABT Credits" section below).
You can filter your credit holdings using the Filter Options and sort by clicking the column names.
For example, you can arrange the data to compare the total number of credits EMTS has processed
in your account to your own off-line transaction records. These data are also available for download
in a variety of formats.

The final column in the  Fuels ABT Holdings grid is the  "I want to..." column. The drop-down for each
row contains the options View Details, Generate, Buy, Sell, Retire (Obligation), and Retire (Other). If
you are registered as both a Refiner and a Non-renewable Fuel Importer, you will see two options for
both Generate and Retire (Obligation). If you select a transaction in the "I want to..." column for a row
of Credits, the  Credit Type and Credit Year fields in the resulting transaction wizard will be  pre-
populated with the data from that row.

Uploading Pre-2015 Unused Fuels ABT Credits

In 2014 and 2015, the EPA Moderated Transaction System (EMTS) was modified to include Fuels
Averaging, Banking, and Trading (ABT) program credits. As part of this transition, all pre-2015
Unused Fuels ABT Credits must be uploaded into EMTS by using the Unused Credits Submission
Template (see Figure 2), which is an Excel file that can be found on the EMTS Documents page.

    •   Credit Type is the Credit Type Code of the unused credits. Sulfur has a code of 10 and
       Benzene has a code of 20.
    •   Credit Year is the year in which the gasoline was produced. Credits with any credit year
       prior to 2015 can be entered in the Unused Credits Submission file.

    •   Quantity is the quantity of unused credits and must be an integer.

    •   Times Traded refers to the number of times in which the referenced set of credits has been
       traded. Valid values are "0", "1", or "2" since a credit can only be traded up to two times.

An example submission is shown in Figure 4 below.

There are no restrictions to the number of rows you can enter in the Unused Credits template, as
long as each row is a valid entry and complies with the instructions for each field.

After you have completed the Pre-2015 Unused Fuels ABT Credits Template, you will upload it on
the Submit Pre-2015 Unused Fuels ABT Credits page (see Figure 5). This page is accessed by
hovering over the Fuels ABT  Credits menu and then clicking the Pre-2015 Unused Credits menu
item. The Pre-2015 Unused Fuels ABT Credits page is organization-specific, which means that after
logging in you must select the same organization for which you are uploading unused credits. You
can determine the organization in the top right corner of the screen and in the Organization
accordion on the right. To switch organizations, you would click the "Select a  Different
Organization" link.

Once you have successfully uploaded your data, you can view the resulting credits in your Fuels
ABT Holdings. To access your holdings, select "Fuels ABT Holdings" from the Fuels ABT Credits
drop-down menu.

Generating Fuels ABT Credits

From the Manage  Fuels ABT Holdings screen,  if your  organization is registered as both a non-
renewable fuel importer and a refiner, you have  the option to generate credits as either a refiner or
as an importer. If you organization is only registered as either a non-renewable fuel importer or a
refiner, then you will only see  one "Generate"  option.  To generate credits as  a refiner, click the
Generate (Refiner) button or select Generate  (Refiner) in the "I want to..." drop-down (or if you are
only registered as a refiner, select the "Generate" option) and click Go. Doing so opens the first screen
of the two-step Generate Wizard (see Figure 8).

The following information is required to generate credits as a refiner:
    •  Year for which the credits are being generated;
    •  Organization generating the credits;
    •  Generating facility;
    •  Credit type (Sulfur or Benzene); and
    •  Reason for generating the credits.

The Generating Organization will be pre-populated and read-only. If you select Generate from the "I

registered facility, then Generating Facility will also be pre-populated.

Generating as an Importer has very similar first steps. From the Manage Fuels ABT Holdings screen,
you may also generate credits as an importer. To do so, either click the Generate (Importer) button
or select Generate (Importer) in the "I want to..." drop-down (or if you  are  only registered as an
importer, select the "Generate" option) and click Go. Doing so opens the first screen of the two-step
Generate (Importer) Wizard (see Figure 9).

The following information is required to generate credits as an importer:
    •  Year for which the credits are being generated;
    •  Organization generating the credits;
    •  Facility generating the credits;
    •  Credit type (Sulfur or Benzene; and
    •  Reason for generating the credits.

The Generating Organization will be pre-populated and read-only. If you select Generate from the "I
want to..." column of an existing holding, then the Credit Year will also be pre-populated and read-
only;  otherwise, it will appear as a text field (as in Figure 8).

As both an importer and a refiner, once you have completed all of the required fields, click Generate
Credits at the bottom of the screen to move to the second screen of the Generate Wizard. If all of
the information on the Identify Production Source screen is valid, the next screen will be either the
Generate Fuels ABT Credits (Sulfur) screen or Generate Fuels ABT Credits (Benzene) screen, based
on the Credit Type you have selected. If your information is not valid or if you have not completed
all required fields, you will see error messages; see Figure 10 for an example of a validation
message that you may encounter on this screen.

Converting Excel Files to XML

EMTS includes functionality to convert an MS Excel file into a valid XML file. EPA provides a blank
Excel template, which allows users to include all transaction types in one file. It includes general
notes about submitting transactions, user-specific submittal information, and a tab for each
transaction type. The EMTS Excel Conversion Template can be found here:

Fuels ABT EMTS User's Guide                                                                 12

Important Notes: The transaction types must remain in the same order presented in the template
and the template header rows also must remain unchanged to allow EMTS to process the file.

Required columns have a header that is highlighted yellow. Additional information is included in
column header comments and in the Notes tab. To view comments, hover over the header, as

It will display information only for files submitted from the Submit File screen and not for files
submitted using a personal node or node client. If the 'Received By CDX' column displays 'Yes' for a
submission, the submission was successfully received by the CDX node and has been sent to the
EMTS node for processing.

by any of your organization's submitters will be displayed on the screen. To switch the organization
for which the Fuels ABT Transaction Bin is displayed, click Select a Different Organization.  There is
no restriction on the number of transactions that you can add to the Fuels ABT Transaction Bin.

For all transactions in the Fuels ABT Transaction Bin, you have the option to View Details by selecting
View Details in the "I wantto..." drop-down and clicking Go. You will be taken to a screen that displays
all  of the details of the credit submission and  transaction.  This screen can  be used to verify the
contents of the  transaction before submitting  it If you find that any information you  entered is
incorrect, you can remove  the transaction via the "I wantto..." drop-down.

Along with accessing the Fuels ABT Transaction Bin at the end of each wizard, you can navigate to
the Transaction  Bin from multiple screens of the EMTS website using the Fuels ABT Transaction Bin
accordion tab  on the right side of the screen (see Figure 22).  The tab contains the number of un-
submitted transactions and a link to the Credit Transaction Bin.

Clicking the View Fuels ABT Transaction Bin link opens the Fuels ABT Transaction Bin. Note that the
credits associated with each sell and retire transaction in the Fuels ABT Transaction Bin are Reserved
rather than Available (they show up in the Reserved column of the View Fuels ABT Holdings grid).
As a result, these credits may not be used for any other transactions. If a sell or retire transaction is
removed from the Fuels ABT Transaction Bin, the associated credits return to an Available status.
Credits associated with a generate transaction do not show up in the Fuels ABT Holdings grid until
the transaction is submitted from the Fuels ABT Transaction Bin, and credits associated with a buy
transaction do not show up in the Fuels ABT Holdings grid until the transaction is submitted from
the Fuels ABT Transaction Bin and accepted by the trading partner.

To complete a transaction, you must submit it from the Fuels ABT Transaction Bin by clicking the
Submit button at the bottom of the  screen. If you have multiple transactions in the Fuels ABT
Transaction Bin, you must submit all of the transactions with the same Credit Year at once. If you do
not wish to submit one of the transactions in the bin, you can remove that transaction and submit the
remaining transactions. You may not submit transactions across multiple Credit Years as part of a
single transaction bin submission. If you have multiple transactions using RINs from different Credit
Years, you need to select a Credit Year from the drop-down in the Fuels ABT Transaction Bin before
submitting your transactions from your Fuels ABT Transaction Bin (see Figure 23). For example, if
you have a Credit Sell transaction for 2014 Sulfur credits and a Credit Retire transaction for 2015
Sulfur credits in your Fuels ABT Transaction Bin,  you must submit the transactions from 2014 and
2015 separately.

Retiring Fuels ABT Credits

You may choose to retire credits from your Fuels ABT Holdings. All organizations that participate in
the Fuels ABT program (Non-renewable Fuel Importers and Refiners) are obligated parties and
therefore may retire credits for obligation, along with retiring credits for other reasons (see Figure
25).

The green boxes on the right side of the screen indicate which of the two steps of the Retire Wizard
you are completing. The following information is required to retire credits for reasons other than
compliance:
    •   Credit Type;
    •   Credit Year;
    •   Number of times the credits have been traded;
    •   Quantity of credits;
    •   Transaction Date; and
    •   Reason for the retire transaction.

All required fields  are marked with a red asterisk.  The Credit Type and Credit Year fields are
automatically populated with the information from the row of credits that you selected to retire from
your Fuels ABT Holdings grid.  In the Reason for Retire  field, only the reasons that are applicable to

your organization's registered business activities are available. The Retire Wizard also contains a
document grid you can use to specify the name and identifier of one or more documents that support
the retire transaction.   Note that the document itself cannot be uploaded.   To add document
information to the grid, fill in the Document Type and Document Identification fields, and click Add.
Doing so will add a row to the documents grid. For more information, see the Separating RINs section
of the EMTS User's Guide.

The Retire (Obligation) process has similar first steps. If your organization is either a refiner or a non-
renewable  fuel  importer, you will be provided  with  the option "Retire (Obligation)".  If your
organization is both a refiner and a non-renewable fuel importer, you have the  Retire (Obligation)
options "as Refiner" and "as Importer" available. For a row of credits in your Credit Holdings, select
the "as Refiner" option in the "I want to..." drop-down on the Manage Credit Holdings screen (or if
you are only registered as a refiner, select the "Retire (Obligation)" option). Doing so will take you to
the first step of the Retire (Obligation) Wizard for a refiner (see Figure 27).

your Retire (Obligation) as Refiner selection from the  previous  screen.  This screen contains  a
document grid you can use to specify the name and identifier of one or more documents that support
the retire transaction.  Note that the document itself cannot be uploaded.  To add  document

Doing so will add a row to the documents grid.

There is one primary difference between retiring as a refiner and retiring as an importer. Refiners
must specify a Compliance Facility,  while importers do not Additionally, the two transactions  use
different Compliance Level Codes. To begin the Retire (Obligation) process as an importer, pick a row
of credits in your Fuels ABT Holdings and select the "as Importer" option in the "I want to..." drop-
down on the Manage Credit Holdings screen (or if you are only registered an importer, select the
"Retire (Obligation)" option). Doing so will take you to the first step of the Retire (Obligation) Wizard
for an importer (see Figure 28).

will take you to the Deny CreditTrade screen (see Figure 37), and clicking Accept Trade will take you
to the Accept CreditTrade screen (see Figure 38).

As described earlier in this section, a trade can be completed if one trading partner initiates a trade
through a Buy/Sell Wizard, and the other partner then accepts the initiated trade from the Review
Credit Trades screen.  Trades can also be completed in the following ways:

    •   Both trading partners submit XML files for a trade (one buy and one sell);

    •   One trading partner completes a buy/sell transaction on the web application, and the other
       trading partner submits a matching XML file for the corresponding transaction; or

    •   One trading partner completes a buy transaction on the web application,  and the other
       trading partner completes a matching sell transaction on the web application.

In all of these instances, the following fields must match for the trades to match:

       1. Transfer Date;
       2. Credit Year;
       3. Credit Type;
       4. Times Traded;
       5. Quantity; and
       6. Reason Code (except for  Deny).

In addition, the Trading Partner Organization Identifiers must agree (e.g., the sell transaction
should list the buying organization  as the Trading Partner, and the buy transaction should list the
selling organization as the Trading  Partner). Several fields, if provided, must also match, including
the originating source information - Generating Organization Identifier and Generating Facility
Identifier - and the Matching Transaction ID.

If these fields do not match, then the trades submitted by both  trading partners via XML or web
application will be considered pending initiated trades.
