use of electricity, hydrogen, alternative jet fuel, and fossil and bio-based or
renewable LPG, CNG, and LNG, must register their fuel supply equipment (FSE),
certain vehicles, or both, to report fuel volumes used, as provided in section

vehicle registrations submitted in the second 45 days of a calendar quarter
until the following quarter.
(5)
Fuel Supply Equipment. Registered parties may register their active and
operational FSE, vehicles, or both to report fueling of vehicles with
electricity, natural gas, renewable natural gas, propane, renewable propane, or
hydrogen as follows:
(a) To register FSE and
vehicles the following must be provided in OFRS:
(A) The entity registering the FSE and
vehicles and, if they have been designated as an aggregator, the entity that
designated them;
(B) The location
of the FSE, including the name of the facility, the address, and latitude and
longitude;
(C) For CNG fueling
equipment, the utility meter number for a CNG station and an invoice from
utility demonstrating fuel delivery to the site or FSE;
(D) For LNG fueling equipment, the fueling
station identification number and the owner of the station, as well as the type
of station and an invoice demonstrating fuel delivery to the site or
FSE;
(E) For propane fueling
equipment, the fueling station identification number and the fueling station
owner, and an invoice or other documentation demonstrating service to the site
or FSE;
(F) For hydrogen fueling
equipment, the fueling station identification number, and an invoice or other
documentation demonstrating service to the site or FSE; and;
(G) For electrical fuel equipment, the type
of charger, the serial number of the fueling equipment, the manufacturer of the
fueling equipment, and documentation that the electrical fueling equipment
being registered is active and operational;
(b) To register off-road electrical and
hydrogen vehicles or their fueling equipment, the registered party must provide
the following information:
(A) The quarter and
year of the registration;
(B) The
address where the vehicle or FSE is based;
(C) The category of FSE;
(D) The type of equipment or
vehicle;
(E) The name of the
equipment manufacturer;
(F) The
unique serial number assigned to by the manufacturer;
(G) The model year;
(H) The vehicle identification number, if
applicable;
(I) The date that the
information being submitted was collected or last updated; and
(J) Any other information that DEQ requests
in order to reduce the likelihood of multiple entities registering the same
equipment or reporting the same quantity of fuel, or to ensure that the correct
fuel application and energy economy ratio is being used when credits or
deficits are being calculated. Information must be provided to DEQ within 14
calendar days of such a request, or the registration will be
rejected;
(c) DEQ may
request additional documentation or evidence prior to approving a registration
of FSE, and DEQ may deny the registration if the applicant fails to provide the
requested documentation or evidence within 7 calendar days or another deadline
set by DEQ;
(d) For electric
vehicle chargers on a single dedicated circuit or panel, a single meter for
that circuit or panel may be registered and used as the FSE so long as the
registered party can prove that no other electrical equipment is or will be
connected to that circuit, so the meter is only recording EV charging. The
chargers on that circuit must also be registered with the program to prevent
potential double-counting; and
(e)
Registrations will only be processed for active and operational FSE or
vehicles. Registered parties must inform DEQ if registered FSE or vehicles are
replaced or retired, or if they have a maintenance outage that last for more
than 90 days. Registered parties must note any maintenance outages in the FSE
transaction description of each quarterly report.
