{longname} Q30.  Will federal, state, or local facilities have to report emissions?

A30.

The

of

building

owners

operators

will

...

very

...

likely

...

not

...

be

...

required

...

to

...

report,

...

including

...

federal,

state,

local

facilities.

Most

federal,

state,

facilities

will

likely

only

have

to

consider

whether

their

emissions

from

stationary

combustion

are

over

they

not

have

other

operations

that

may

trigger

...

the

...

rule

...

(e.g.,

...

a

power

plant).

...

Over

75

...

percent

of

buildings

have

stationary

combustion

equipment

with

an

that

1

mmBtu/hr.

When

...

it

...

comes

...

to

...

most

...

buildings

...

with

...

boilers

...

for

...

heating

...

water

...

and

...

steam,

...

approximately

...

80

percent

of

have

boilers

with

an

aggregate

maximum

of

10

These

are

well

below

the

threshold

for

the

If

a

an

aggregate

maximum

rated

heat

input

30

mmBtu/hr

greater,

that

will

need

do

further

calculations

to

determine

if

it

meets

the

threshold

for

reporting.

EPA

has

developed

an

on-line

applicability

...

tool

...

to

...

help

...

facilities

...

assess

...

if

...

they

...

are

...

required

...

to

...

report.

...

This

is

available

on

...

the

...

Greenhouse

(GHG)

...

Reporting

...

Rule

...

Website

...

.

If a federal, state, or local facility has other source categories that are included in the rule, such as a power plant (see the General Provisions Information Sheet on the Information Sheet page), the facility may be required to report. Generally, EPA estimates that there will be limited impact on federal, state, or local facilities.

Federal, state, or local facilities will not have to report emissions from fleets (e.g.,

...

passenger

...

vehicles,

...

aircraft,

...

and

...

marine

...

vessels)

...

or

...

from

...

Research

...

and

...

Development

...

(R&D)

...

activities

...

under

...

the

...

rule.
