{longname} Q171. If my refinery produces a product, feedstock or blendstock stream that is not listed in Table MM-1, how should I comply with the subpart MM reporting requirements? Am I required to use Calculation Method 2 to develop my own emission factor? {longname} |
A171.

Reporters
...
always
...
have
...
the
...
option
...
of
...
using
...
Calculation
...
Method
...
1
...
if
...
they
...
so
...
choose.
...
If
...
the
...
reporter
...
chooses
...
to
...
use
...
Calculation
...
Method
...
1,
...
they
...
should
...
consult
...
the
...
product
...
definitions
...
and
...
select
...
the
...
most
...
appropriate
...
product
...
listed
...
in
...
Table
...
MM-1
...
for
...
purposes
...
of
...
selecting
...
a
...
default
...
factor
...
for
...
Calculation
...
Method
...
1
...
and
...
reporting
...
volumes
...
and
...
other
...
information
...
required
...
under
...
§98.396.
...
When
...
evaluating
...
your
...
products,
...
you
...
should
...
examine
...
the
...
definitions
...
of
...
the
...
individual
...
products
...
listed
...
in
...
Table
...
MM-1
...
that
...
have
...
corresponding
...
default
...
factors
...
rather
...
than
...
the
...
product
...
category
...
headings.
...
So,
...
for
...
example,
...
a
...
reporter
...
should
...
look
...
at
...
the
...
definitions
...
for
...
"miscellaneous
...
products",
...
"asphalt",
...
and
...
"residuum"
...
(and
...
any
...
other
...
product
...
definitions
...
that
...
may
...
be
...
representative
...
of
...
the
...
product)
...
and
...
decide
...
which
...
definition
...
is
...
most
...
appropriate
...
regardless
...
of
...
the
...
end-use
...
of
...
the
...
product.
...
For
...
a
...
helpful
...
summary
...
of
...
product
...
definitions
...
and
...
emissions
...
factors,
