Label: Information
Welcome to the Portland RFS program. We want to make compliance with the RFS program as easy as possible. Covered entities can find quick links to the most important RFS information on this page.

Register for RFS Database and select a compliance option

All covered entities were required to register and select a compliance option by July 1, 2024. If you have not already registered, please register immediately to avoid enforcement procedures.

Moving forward, covered entities have the option to select or change their compliance option by the start of the compliance period, which is January 1 of each calendar year. Furthermore, BPS will notify covered entities by October 31 of each year with the option to select or change a compliance option.
