Dates and Changes

Subpart A requires you to report the following data about your facility or supplier:

• The start date and end date for the information contained in the GHG report (see §98.3(c)(2)).
• A written explanation of any calculation methodology changes during the reporting year, including an explanation of why a change in methodology was required (see §98.3(c)(6) and §98.3(c)(e)), if applicable.

Best Available Monitoring Method (BAMM)

Subpart A requires a brief description of each "best available monitoring method" used, the parameter measured using this method, and the time period during which the best available monitoring method was used (see §98.3(c)(7)), if applicable. Please note that consistent with the final rule containing Confidentiality Determinations published in the Federal Register on May 26, 2011, and the accompanying memorandum titled, “Final Data Category Assignments and Confidentiality Determinations for Part 98 Reporting Elements,” the information reported under 98.3(c)(7) has been determined to be either emissions data, and therefore available to the public, or not eligible for confidential treatment, and thus available to the public.

Please note: Only facilities or suppliers that have been approved by EPA to use BAMM or have automatically been granted BAMM under the rule should report the information described above. If your facility does not fall into one of these categories, you should not enter data in the BAMM fields.

Other Fields

A response of Yes or No answering the question "Does your facility report under subpart C or D and have a plant code (as defined in §98.6)?
