If the facility is required to submit reports under 40 CFR 75, the same individual shall be the Designated Representative under both Part 75 and Part 98. The Designated Representative is an individual selected by an agreement binding on the owners and operators of the facility or supplier to meet the requirements of Part 98.

Alternate Designated Representative - Part 98 allows the facility or supplier to designate one Alternate Designated Representative (ADR), who shall be an individual selected by an agreement binding on the owners and operators, and may act on behalf of the designated representative, of such facility or supplier.

Agent - A DR or ADR may delegate his or her authority to one or more individuals, known as Agents, to submit an electronic GHG report.

An important part of facility registration is to use e-GGRT to identify for a facility or supplier the DR, optional ADR, and one or more Agents. The following subsections describe how to identify the DR, optional ADR, and one or more Agents for your facility or supplier.
