IMPORTANT REMINDER:

Regulated parties are urged to conduct due diligence investigations and
exercise caution when conducting Renewable Identification Number
(RIN) transactions. Neither EPA nor its systems, including the EPA
Moderated Transaction System (EMTS), certify or validate RINs or make
any provision for parties who, despite good faith, transfer or receive
invalid RINs. As specified in the regulations at 40 CFR 80.1431(b)(2),
invalid RINs cannot be used to achieve compliance with the Renewable
Volume Obligations of an obligated party or exporter, regardless of the
party's good faith belief that the RINs were valid at the time they were
acquired. Additionally, the regulations at 40 CFR 80.1460(b)(2) prohibit
the creation or transfer to any person of a RIN that is invalid.

Introduction

To support the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) program, the EPA Moderated Transaction System (EMTS)
has been developed to screen the generation and transfer of RINs between renewable fuel producers,
importers, exporters, obligated parties, and non-obligated RIN owners.

With EMTS v8.0, the system now also supports the generation and transfer of Tokens to report creation and
use of biogas in renewable fuel production.

Accessing EMTS

Access to EMTS requires registration with both the Central Data Exchange (CDX) and OTAQ Fuels. For
instructions on setting up these accounts, see the "Getting Started - MyCDX" and "To Add DC FUELS Program"

Viewing RIN Holdings

To view your RIN holdings, hover over RINs on the main menu of the EMTS website and select View RIN
Holdings (Current) (see Figure 9). The Manage RIN Holdings screen is organization-specific, indicated by the
organization name above the RIN Holdings grid. To switch the organization for which you are viewing RIN

If you view the Manage RIN Holdings screen before your organization has completed any generate or buy
transactions, the RIN Holdings grid will be empty. At this point, you can generate or buy RINs (the only valid
transaction types when there are no RIN Holdings) either by clicking the Generate or Buy button or by
selecting Generate or Buy in the "I want to.,," drop-down and clicking Go.

Once you have completed a generate transaction or successfully purchased RINs from a trading partner, the
RIN Holdings grid will now display your RINs (see Figure 10 for an example). Each row in the RIN Holdings
grid represents a unique combination of Fuel (D Code), RIN Year, Assignment, and QAP Service Type. For
each row, the sum of RINs in the Available, Pending, Reserved, and Locked columns should equal the number
of RINs in the Total column. The RINs in the Available column are RINs that are available for you to use in
transactions. The RINs in the Pending column are RINs that are involved in a pending sell transaction that
you have initiated (see the Trading RINs section). The RINs in the Reserved column are RINs that are
associated with transactions in the Transaction Bin (see the Managing the Transaction Bin section). Finally,
the RINs in the Locked column are RINs that have been locked either by your organization or by the EPA.
Various sorting and filtering capabilities allow you work with this RIN data. For example, you can arrange
data in order to compare the total number of RINs 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 RIN Holdings grid is the "I want to..." column. The drop-down for each row contains
the options View Details, Generate, Buy, Separate, Separate (Upward delegation), Sell, Retire (Obligation),

For example, Retire (Obligation) is only applicable for separated RINs being retired by Non-renewable Fuel
Importers, Renewable Fuel Exporters, and Refiners, so in all other instances, the option will be grayed out.
If you select a transaction in the "I want to..." column for a row of RINs, the Fuel (D Code), RIN Year,

The View RIN Holding Details screen includes a Search box that allows you to search for RIN batches that
satisfy a specific set of criteria. The RIN Holding Details grid displays the originating source information
(originating organization, facility, and batch number) for each batch of RINs with the Fuel (D Code), RIN Year,
QAP Service Type and Assignment that you selected on the RIN Holdings screen. It also includes the status
of each RIN batch. For pending and reserved RINs, the options in the "I want to..." drop-down are View Details
and Transaction. Selecting Transaction opens the screen that details the last transaction that acted on that
RIN batch. Selecting View Details opens the RIN Batch Details screen, where you will have access to
information such as fuel category code, equivalence value, originating organization, and facility. From the
Batch Details screen, you may also select "Transaction" next to any batch of RINs to access the same
aforementioned screen. For available RINs, the "I want to..." drop-down options are View Details,

The screen contains the details of the RINs that you are about to lock along with a required Comment field.
After you enter a comment and click Confirm, you will return to the View RIN Holding Details screen. For the
RIN batch that you locked, the Status field will display Locked, and the Locked By field will include the name
and organization of the individual that locked the RIN batch. Locked RINs will not be available for any
transactions.

The EPA has the capability to lock any organization's available or locked RIN batches. If the EPA locks one of
your organization's RIN batches, the Status field for that row will display Locked, and the Locked By field will
display EPA. RINs locked by the EPA cannot be used in transactions and cannot be unlocked by your
organization.

If you wish to unlock a batch of RINs locked by your organization and not locked by the EPA, select Unlock
RINs in the "I want to..." drop-down. Like the Lock RINs Confirmation screen, the Unlock RINs Confirmation
screen requires a comment. Once you confirm the unlock action, the RINs will have a status of Available, and
you will be able to use them to complete transactions. Note that if the EPA locks a batch of RINs that your
organization had already locked, the EPA will need to unlock the RINs before you will have the ability to
unlock the RIN batch.

To lock or unlock multiple batches of RINS, hover over RINs on the main menu and click Lock RIN Batches

All required fields are marked with a red asterisk. In the dropdown fields, the invalid options are grayed out
For example, in Figure 19, the organization can produce only Advanced Biofuel, Renewable Fuel, and
Cellulosic Diesel, so the remaining Fuel (D Code) options are disabled.

You are not required to report an equivalence value. EMTS will automatically calculate the equivalence value
based on the type of fuel for which you are generating RINs. The number of RINs you are allowed to generate
for a specific fuel type will be determined by the volume of the batch of fuel multiplied by the equivalence
value. EMTS checks that the RINs you generate do not exceed your fuel volume by the equivalence value
multiplier. If you report an equivalence value, EMTS will re-calculate and check this value.

In the panel for Remedial Action, the "Is this an authorized Remedial Action" checkbox is used to indicate
that you are submitting a transaction for a "missed RIN generation" that has been authorized by EPA. The
following fields must match the EPA authorization in the system to generate a "missed" batch of RINs:

•	Production Date;

•	RIN Quantity;

•	D Code;

•	QAP status;

•	Batch Number;

•	Originating Organization;

•	Originating Facility; and

•	Import Facility (if applicable).

If your organization is a Renewable Fuel Importer, you have the option to generate RINs as an importer. The
Generate Wizard for Importers is similar to the Generate Wizard for Renewable Fuel Producers, except when
you identify the production source on the Report Fuel screen, you must provide the originating organization
and facility (the Importer's organization and facility) and the generating organization and facility (the
Foreign Producer's organization and facility). The Foreign Fuel Producer Facility ID that you enter must be
registered for the Process, Fuel (D Code), Fuel Category, Feedstock, and QAP Service Type that you enter,
otherwise QA checks will prohibit RIN generation.

Foreign Fuel Producers that are identified by importers as the generating organization in a generate
transaction can view the details of the transaction by selecting View Importer Transactions under the
Submissions menu. The View Transactions screen (see Figure 23) includes an overview of all the generate
transactions in which an importer has identified that organization as the generating organization. Selecting

If you select View Details, you will be taken to a screen that displays all of the details of the transaction. This
screen can be used to verify the contents of the transaction before submitting it If you select Generate RINs,
you will be taken to the first screen of the Generate Wizard so that you can complete an additional generate
transaction before you submit the transactions from the Transaction Bin. You cannot edit a transaction in
the Transaction Bin; you must remove it and then create a new transaction. If you select Remove, you will be
taken to a screen that contains the transaction details. At the bottom of the screen, you will be able to click
a Confirm Remove button. This opens the Transaction Bin screen and the removed transaction is no longer
available.

Along with accessing the Transaction Bin at the end of each wizard, you can navigate to the Transaction Bin
from multiple screens of the EMTS website using the Transaction Bin accordion tab on the right side of the

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

To complete a transaction, you must submit it from the Transaction Bin by clicking the Submit button at the
bottom of the screen. If you have multiple transactions in the Transaction Bin, you must submit all of the
transactions 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. In addition, if you have multiple transactions acting on
different RIN years, you need to select a RIN year before submitting your transactions from your Transaction
Bin. For example, if you have multiple sell transactions in your Transaction Bin that will act on RIN batches
for years 2011 or 2012, you must submit each year-specific batch separately. You may not submit all
transactions across multiple years as part of a single transaction bin submission.

Retiring RINs

Depending on your organization's business activities you may choose to retire RINs for compliance or for
other reasons from your RIN Holding Account. If your organization is an obligated party (a Non-renewable
Fuel Importer, a Refiner, or a Renewable Fuel Exporter) your organization may retire separated RINs for
obligation (Retire (Obligation)) and assigned or separated RINs for other reasons (Retire (Other)). If your
organization is registered as more than one type of obligated party, you must choose from the drop-down
the compliance level you would like to use (see Figure 37). For organizations with any other business
activities (i.e., non-obligated parties), the only enabled retire option in your RIN Holdings grid will be Retire
(Other) (see Figure 38).

Trading RINs

You can initiate a trade from your RIN Holdings screen. To initiate a sell transaction, you must have RINs in
your RIN Holdings. The following information is required to initiate a trade through a sell transaction:

• Renewable fuel code;

• Year in which the RINs that were sold were generated;

• Assignment of the RINs;

• QAP service type code;

• Number of RINs that were sold;

• Volume of renewable fuel sold with the RINs (for assigned RINs only);

• Identifier of the organization to which you are selling RINs;

• Name of the organization to which you are selling RINs;

• Date on which the trade occurred as recorded on the Product Transfer Document (PTD);

• Price per RIN or the price per gallon of renewable fuel that was agreed upon by both parties (price
must be rounded to two decimal places)*; and

• Reason the RINs have been sold+.

* For transactions completed on or after January 1, 2020, if the transaction contains Separated RINs
AND the Reason Code is either "Spot" or "Term Contract," the Price Element must use "Per RIN"
units and the price cannot be $0.00, and the price must match between buyers and sellers.

+ The reason "Standard Trade" must not be reported for a sell transaction if Transfer Date is on or after
01/01/2020 and the RIN Assignment Code is Separated.

The reason "Spot", "Term Contract", or "Consignment" must not be reported for a sell transaction if the
Transfer Date is prior to 01/01/2020 or the RIN Assignment Code is Assigned.

o A spot is a transaction with a fixed price, fixed quantity, and single delivery,
o A term transaction would be any transaction where at least one of the above is untrue.

For a row of RIN data in your RIN Holdings grid, select Sell in the "I want to..." drop-down, and click Go. Doing
so will take you to the first screen of the Sell Wizard (see Figure 42).

When you have selected your trading partner, click the Transaction Details button to move to the next screen.
On the Sell RINs - Transaction Details and Documents screen, you must enter the Transfer Date, Price Paid
(either price per RIN or price per gallon], and Sell Reason. The value entered for Price Paid must have exactly
two digits after the decimal place. Note that you may not enter both price per RIN and price per gallon.

You may also enter a Matching Transaction Identifier. This element allows users to accept specific buy/sell
transactions in the case of several similar transactions. It is the unique transaction identifier assigned by
EMTS to an initiated trade. When accepting a trade, users can include this element in the trade matching
criteria (along with the other trade matching criteria currently in effect). If this element is reported, EMTS
will attempt to locate a matching transaction based on the MatchedTransactionldentifier and the other
matching criteria provided. If a match is not found, then the transaction will fail. If this element is not
reported, then it will not be used in the trade matching (but all other required matching elements will still
apply].

You can also provide a Product Transfer Document (PTD] number, Bill of Lading, Invoice, and other
additional information. The Transaction Details and Documents screen contains a document grid you can

If you select View Details for a Pending Received transaction, you will see the details of the transaction along

If a trade is not accepted, cancelled, or denied within ten business days of the submission date (the date that
you or your trading partner initiated the trade), the trade will expire, and it will no longer appear on your
Review T rades screen.

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 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. RINYear;

2. Fuel Code;

3. RIN Quantity;

4. Reason Code;*

5. Assignment Code;

6. QAP Service Type; and

7. Transaction Date.

* If the buy or sell reason is Deny Trade or Cancel Trade, then the Reason Codes do not need to
match.

In addition:

1) 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); and

2) If one Trading Partner specifies Originating Source information, then the other Trading Partner
must specify the same Originating Source information.

3) For transactions completed on or after January 1, 2020 that contain Separated RINs AND the Reason
Code is either "Spot" or "Term Contract," the Price Element must use "Per RIN" units, the price cannot be
$0.00, and the price must match between buyers and sellers.

RFSEMTS User's Guide

-------
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. For more information on using XML files to interact with EMTS,
see the Submitting XML Files Section.

Managing the Blocked List

In some cases, you may wish to ensure that your organization does not buy or own RINs that were generated
by a specific renewable fuel producer, importer, or facility. To do so, you can add a producer or facility to
your organization's Blocked List. When a trade includes RINs that originated from a producer, importer, or
facility on the buying organization's Blocked List, the transaction will automatically be denied by EMTS, and
a notification will be sent to both parties indicating that the transaction was not processed. You can access
your organization's Blocked List by selecting View Blocked List under Organization in the EMTS main menu.

Using EMTS to Manage Biogas Tokens

Viewing Token Holdings

To view your token holdings, hover over Tokens on the main menu of the EMTS website and select View
Token Holdings (Current). The Manage Token Holdings screen is organization-specific (indicated by the
organization name above the Token Holdings grid, in Figure 57 below). To switch the organization for which
you are viewing token holdings, open the Organizations tab of the accordion, and click "Select a Different
Organization."

If you view the Manage Token Holdings screen before your organization has completed any generate or buy
transactions, the Token Holdings grid will be empty (see Figure 57). At this point, you can generate or buy
tokens (the only valid transaction types when there are no Token Holdings) either by clicking the Generate
button (if you are a registered Biogas Producer) or Buy button (if you are a registered Renewable Fuel
Producer or Importer) or by selecting Generate or Buy in the "I want to..." drop-down and clicking Go.

Once you have completed a generate transaction or successfully purchased tokens from a trading partner,
the Token Holdings grid will now display your tokens (see Figure 58 for an example). Each row in the Token
Holdings grid represents a unique combination of Token Type, Owning Facility, Token Year, and QAP Service
Type. For each row, the sum of tokens in the Available, Pending, and Reserved columns should equal the
number of tokens in the Total column. The tokens in the Available column are tokens that are available for
you to use in transactions. The tokens in the Pending column are tokens that are involved in a pending sell
transaction that you have initiated (see the Trading Tokens section). The tokens in the Reserved column are
tokens that are associated with transactions in the Transaction Bin (see the Managing the Transaction Bin
section). Various sorting and filtering capabilities allow you to work with this token data. For example, you
can arrange data in order to compare the total number of tokens 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.

You may also enter a Matching Transaction ID. This element allows users to accept specific buy/sell
transactions in the case of several similar transactions. It is the unique transaction identifier assigned by
EMTS to an initiated trade. When accepting a trade, users can include this element in the trade matching
criteria (along with the other trade matching criteria currently in effect). If this element is reported, EMTS
will attempt to locate a matching transaction based on the MatchedTransactionldentifier and the other
matching criteria provided. If a match is not found, then the transaction will fail. If this element is not
reported, then it will not be used in the trade matching (but all other required matching elements will still
apply).

You can also provide a Product Transfer Document (PTD) number, Bill of Lading Invoice, and other
additional information. When you have completed this screen, click Add to Transaction Bin to continue.
After you submit the sell transaction from the Transaction Bin, the transaction will be in a pending state,
and the tokens associated with the sale will be in the Pending column of the Token Holdings grid (see
Figure 64). The tokens will remain in the Pending column until the trading partner accepts the sell
transaction.

Submitting XML Files

If you wish to submit data to EMTS without using the website transaction wizards, you may do so by
submitting valid XML files from the EMTS web application, a personal node, or a node client. For more details
on XML file submission, please go to http://www.exchanaenetwork.net/exchanaes/air/emts.htm and
download the implementation resources available on the site. The Flow Configuration Document (FCD)
describes the different methods of file submission and contains details on the Exchange Network Header
v2.0, which must be included in an XML file for it to be valid. The XML Schema and Data Exchange Template
provide additional information on the structure and content requirements for a valid XML file. Please see
the Sample XML Instance File for an example of a valid XML file. In addition, please see the document titled
"Submitting EMTS Transactions Using XML."

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 is located on the EPA's website here:

https://www.epa.gov/fuels-registration-reporting-and-compliance-help/template-converting-ms-excel-
files-xml-epa.

RFS EMTS User's Guide

-------
Important Notes: The transaction types must remain in the same order presented in the template:
Generate, Buy, Separate, Sell, Retire, Lock, and Unlock. 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 shown in Figure 69

Processing by EMTS

After confirming that the file was successfully received by CDX, you will need to check whether the file was
processed by EMTS. It is possible for your file to have been successfully received by CDX, but not
successfully processed by EMTS.

In order to confirm whether your transaction has been successfully processed by EMTS, hover over the
Submissions menu option and click View Node Submissions. The View Node Submissions screen displays
the results of XML files submitted from a person al node or node client along with XML files submi tted from
the Submit File screen, which acts as a node client.

In the example shown in Figure 77, the submission was successfully sent to CDX, but failed to be processed
by EMTS, as seen in the results circled in the "Submission Status" column.

On the RFS2 Subscriptions screen, click Go in the "I want to..." column to update the subscription for a specific
document On the Manage Subscription screen for that document, check the "Subscribed" checkbox to
subscribe to the document. If the document is available at multiple frequencies (i.e. Daily and three-per-day),

the EMTS website or from the EMTS node using a node or a node client

After you subscribe to a document, you will be able to download the documents with a daily subscription
frequency the following morning and the documents with a subscription frequency of three times per day at

How do I create a Transaction Error Report?

The RFS2 EMTS Transaction Error Report is used to report discrepancies that exist between the EMTS and
your organization's internal record-keeping system. A recommended practice is to review your current RIN
holdings periodically on the EMTS user interface, checking the total quantity of RINs against your own
transaction records. You may download data from this screen at any time. You can report transaction errors
following the end of the quarter. When you have entered and submitted your transaction errors, EMTS will
create a Transaction Error Report for your organization. If you do not enter any errors or if you do not submit
the reported errors, EMTS will not generate a Transaction Error Report for your organization. Note thatyou
may edityour transaction errors and request the Transaction Error Report for the prior quarter any number
of times until the quarterly report submittal deadline, is two months after the quarter ends. Reports are due
May 31, August 31, November 30, and February 28.

You must login to the EMTS web application to report transaction errors. In the EMTS main menu, select
Reports, and then select Transaction Errors. If the compliance period is closed or you have previously
submitted a Transaction Error Report for the quarter, you will see a message indicating that transaction
error reporting is not available. If the Compliance period is open and you have not yet submitted a
Transaction Error Report for the quarter, click Continue.

On the View Reported Errors screen, you can add transaction errors to the Reported Errors grid (see Figure
86). If you have already entered errors for the quarter, but have not yet submitted them, you can view and
edit the errors on this screen. You can also enter multiple errors at a time by uploading a properly formatted
CSV file on the View Reported Errors screen. The file must only include errors for transactions that have not
already been reported, transactions for the user's organization, and from the current quarter.

Which transactions are included in the quarterly reports?

The reports include transactions that were submitted and completed during the quarter. Thus, generate,
buy, and sell transactions with a generation date or transaction date in one quarter and a submission date in
another quarter will be included in the quarterly reports from the quarter that contains the submission date.
Retire and separate transactions are always included in the report from the quarter during which they were
submitted.

How do I submit quarterly reports?

You must submit your reports through the DC Fuels application, which is accessed through MyCDX. For more
information, visit https://www.epa.gov/fuels-registration-reporting-and-compliance-help/how-report-
quarterly-and-annuallv-renewable-fuel. You are required to submit the reports in PDF format within two
months of the end of the quarter. Note that the XML and CSV versions of the quarterly reports should be
used for verification purposes only.

Are examples of the quarterly reports available?

For examples of the quarterly reports, please see the document "EMTS Quarterly Reports - Getting Started
Guide."

Annual Reports

EMTS generates two organization-specific annual reports, both of which are provided in PDF format. The
RFS2 EMTS Annual Report shows details for every RIN batch that an organization has retired for compliance,
and the RFS2 EMTS Annual Statement shows aggregate values for the number of RINs an organization has
retired for compliance.

RFS EMTS User's Guide

-------
Users must be subscribed to the reports to be able to download them after they are generated by EMTS.
Subscriptions are organization specific, so all submitters for an organization can download the reports. You
can subscribe to the annual reports on the Manage Subscriptions screen by selecting Manage Subscriptions
under Reports on the EMTS main menu.

To change the subscription for an annual report, click the Go button in the "I want to..." column for the report.
On the Manage Subscription screen for that report, check or uncheck the "Subscribed" box.

To download the annual reports, you must login to the EMTS web application. In the EMTS main menu, select
Reports, and then select View Reports. The View Reports screen displays all of the reports to which your
organization has subscribed. For the annual report that you wish to download, select Download Document
in the "I want to..." drop-down menu and click the Go button. Note that if the "I want to..." column for a report
says "No valid actions," the report is not yet available to be downloaded. You will be prompted to open or
save the ZIP file (see Figure 91). You must open the ZIP file to extract the report. EMTS quarterly reports
are provided in PDF format

Agent Reports

EMTS users registered as Agents in the OTAQ Registration system see an additional menu item in the EMTS
main menu called "Agents." This tab includes the option to subscribe and download EMTS documents for
all of their associated organizations, rather than having to switch organizations and download each
organization's documents separately. The .ZIP files contain all EMTS documents - daily, three per day,
weekly, and monthly - for all organizations associated with the Agent. Note that the. ZIP file will only
include documents that have active subscriptions. Quarterly reports are not available as Agent Reports.

To subscribe to Agent reports, click the "Agent" menu item in the main menu (only visible to registered
Agents], and select "Manage Subscriptions" (see Figure 79).
