# §80.1479. Alternative recordkeeping requirements for separated yard waste, separated food waste, separated MSW, and biogenic waste oils/fats/greases.

- (a) **Alternative recordkeeping.** In lieu of complying with the recordkeeping requirements in [§ 80.1454(j)](/cfr/40/80.1454.md?p=j), a renewable fuel producer or biointermediate producer that produces renewable fuel or biointermediate from separated yard waste, separated food waste, separated MSW, or biogenic waste oils/fats/greases and uses a feedstock aggregator to supply these feedstocks may comply with the alternative recordkeeping requirements of this section.
- (b) **Registration of the feedstock aggregator.** The feedstock aggregator must register under [40 CFR 1090.805](/cfr/40/1090.805.md).
- (c) **QAP participation.**
  - (1) The renewable fuel or biointermediate producer must have their RINs or biointermediate, as applicable, verified by an independent third-party auditor under an approved QAP that includes a description of how the independent third-party auditor will audit each feedstock aggregator.
  - (2) The independent third-party auditor must conduct a site visit of each feedstock aggregator's establishment as specified in [§ 80.1471(f)](/cfr/40/80.1471.md?p=f). Instead of verifying RINs with a site visit of the feedstock aggregator's establishment every 200 days as specified in [§ 80.1471(f)(2)](/cfr/40/80.1471.md?p=f-2), the independent third-party auditor may verify RINs with a site visit every 380 days.
- (d) **PTDs.** PTDs must accompany transfers of separated yard waste, separated food waste, separated MSW, and biogenic waste oils/fats/greases from the point where the feedstock leaves the feedstock aggregator's establishment to the point the feedstock is delivered to the renewable fuel production facility, as specified in [§ 80.1453(f)(1)(i) through (v)](/cfr/40/80.1453.md?p=f-1-i..f-1-v).
- (e) **Recordkeeping.** The feedstock aggregator must keep all applicable records for the collection of separated yard waste, separated food waste, separated MSW, and biogenic waste oils/fats/greases as specified in [§ 80.1454(j)](/cfr/40/80.1454.md?p=j).
- (f) **Liability.** The feedstock aggregator and renewable fuel producer are liable for violations as specified in [§ 80.1461(e)](/cfr/40/80.1461.md?p=e).
