How to Use EMTS to Report Transactions for Fuel Programs
Required Procedures for RFS Compliance Reporting
Submitters are required to use e-signature to sign the Copy of Record for EPA Moderated Transaction System (EMTS) transactions. This procedure eliminates the past practice of submitting separate RIN Generation and RIN Transaction reports.

The EPA Moderated Transaction System (EMTS) was designed to allow companies to report and track transactions for Fuel Programs. Currently, there are two programs reporting transactions in EMTS:
- Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) for transactions related to the production, transfer, and use of renewable fuels
- Fuels Averaging, Banking, and Trading (ABT) credit transactions under the Gasoline Sulfur program
