How to Generate RINs for Fuel Produced from
Biointermediates through EMTS interface

This job aid is designed to provide a high-level overview of the process for a renewable fuel producerto generate RINs for
a fuel produced from a biointermediate through the EMTS user interface so that you can start using the new functionality
as quickly as possible.

Before you begin:

l. You must have a Central Data Exchange (CDX) account

You must be logged into the CDX EMTS program service

You must be affiliated with a registered renewable fuel producer in OTAQREG

That renewable fuel producer must have a facility which is registered in OTAQREG with the
following characteristics:

Has a pathway to produce renewable fuel from the specified biointermediate

Is associated with a QAP provider in OTAQREG for that pathway

Is associated with a biointermediate production facility in OTAQREG that produces the specified
biointermediate and which is also associated with the same QAP provider for the
biointermediate production pathway

You have waited a day since the above were satisfied so that the OTAQREG system has synced
with the EMTS system

For help with these steps, see the documentation on EPA's Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance
