(b) Reporters must upload the data for the quarterly reports in the Oregon Fuels Reporting System within the first 45 days after the end of the quarter.

(d) In order to allow for carry-back credits to have been generated only in the applicable years, the Q1 report may not be submitted prior to May 1st.
(3) Conditions of submitting a quarterly report. In order to submit a quarterly report, a registered party must confirm the following statement by acceptance and certification in the Oregon Fuels Reporting System:

"I, [Name of real person], as person with Signatory Authority, am submitting this report on behalf of [Company Name], with the understanding that the information contained in this report is considered an official submission to Oregon Department of Environmental Quality for purposes of compliance with the Clean Fuels Program (CFP) regulation. Furthermore, by submitting this report, I understand that I am bound by, and authenticate this record, and attest to the statements contained within. I also understand that submitting or attesting to false statements is prohibited under Oregon law, and may subject me to civil enforcement, criminal enforcement, or both. I certify that information supplied herein is correct and that I have the authority to submit this report on behalf of the company named above. As a condition of participating in the program, I acknowledge that credits are regulatory instruments that do not constitute personal property, instruments, securities or any other form of property, as provided in OAR 340-253-1005(1)(a). Credits and deficit calculations are subject to the provisions of OAR 340-253-0670, under which DEQ may, without limitation, correct errors should a regulated party or credit generator not do so themselves, place holds on credits and/or accounts as part of an inquiry, and invalidate credits or fuel pathway codes that were illegitimately generated or otherwise created in error. I acknowledge that DEQ may, at its discretion, place a hold on credits and accounts while DEQ undertakes any inquiry regarding such credits or accounts. Suspension, revocation, and/or modification actions by DEQ may be contested as provided under Oregon law."
