How to Update Facilities for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)

This job aid is designed to provide an overview of the process for updating an existing Renewable Fuel Producer
facility with Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) pathways.

Before you begin:

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

You must be logged into the CDX OTAQREG
program service

You must have a registered Renewable Fuel
Producer company in OTAQREG

4. You must have the Company Editor or RCO
user role on behalf of the company for which
you intend to perform this task

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

https://www.epa.aov/fuels-reaistration-reportina-and-
compliance-help

Important Notes:

These instructions are intended for
companies that are already registered as
Renewable Fuel Producers and plan to update
registered facilities with RNG pathways.

Disclaimer:

Screenshots may vary slightly from what you
see in OTAQREG. This is due to the variances
in selected business and facility activities.
