California Air Resources Board staff invites you to participate
in a Workshop on the Alternative Diesel Fuels (ADF) Regulation
reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The ADF regulation
became effective January 1, 2016, and includes reporting and
recordkeeping requirements applicable to entities in the
biodiesel industry.  The first quarter reports must be submitted
by June 30, 2016.  Biodiesel producers, importers and blenders
are required to report and keep records concerning biodiesel
production, sales, and blending. Biodiesel distributors and
retailers are only required to keep records.  

Staff will provide an explanation of the reporting and
recordkeeping requirements as well as solicit feedback on the
reporting form posted on March 2, 2016.  This reporting form was
developed to assist regulated parties to organize and submit the
information required in the ADF regulation.  Additionally,
following the Staff presentation, there will be an open Q&A
session. The meeting notice and agenda are available at:
