Reporting Facilities | This table lists all registered facilities and/or suppliers that are required to submit an Annual Report to EPA and displays the current status of each facility's Annual Report |
Facilities Not Reporting in 2011Reporting for 2012 | This table lists all registered facilities and/or suppliers that are NOT required to submit an Annual Report to EPA. There are no reporting requirements for those that do not trigger the respective thresholds for the source categories at their facility or supply operations. In this first reporting year, some Some facilities or suppliers may have registered with e-GGRT because they thought they might trigger the rule. If those facilities or suppliers now find that they are not subject to the program they may choose to check this box for the 2011 2012 reporting year. In future years, consistent with 98.2(i), facilities and suppliers may no longer be required to report under the program. |
By default for RY2012, all registered facilities are initially classified as reporting facilities.
To begin using the Data Reporting features of e-GGRT or to reclassify a facility as a "Facility Not Reporting in 2011, select a facility in the REPORTING FACILITIES table or FACILITIES NOT REPORTING IN 2011 table and click OPEN.
If you need to resubmit data for a prior reporting year this screen also lets you select that reporting year and select the facility you want to resubmit for that year. For example in the screen depicted below we have selected '2010' in the reporting year selection pull down, and click 'GO'.

Note: If you are below the reporting threshold, and therefore not subject to the rule, you are not required to report to EPA. Therefore, you are not required to select a radio button under "Not Submitting an Annual Report for 2010" section. Facilities that registered as a precaution, and subsequently have determined that they are below the threshold, may optionally select a radio button. Selecting a radio button would let EPA know that although the facility registered in the system, the facility has determined that they are not actually subject to the rule. If you elect to select one of the radio buttons, please be sure to click "save". If you select a radio button, you are NOT REQUIRED to generate, sign, certify or submit an annual report. Please note that any data saved within e-GGRT may be subject to public disclosure consistent with the final rule on confidentiality determinations for data elements to be reported under the GHG Reporting Rule. Click this link to view more information on confidentiality determinations. |
The Facility Overview screen also includes a data rollup calculator.
This is where the "rollup" is presented, which provides your total CO2 equivalent emissions (excluding biogenic) and biogenic CO2 emissions. The third total presented in the "roll up" is the quantity of CO2 equivalent for suppliers.
Click the VIEW GHG DETAILS to see the underlying details on the metric tons of GHG, by gas and by subpart, along with the Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) that go into the calculations.

On the screen you will note that for each of the four facilities e-GGRT provided the annual report status and the ability to open that facility-reporting year to make corrections and resubmission as needed. In the example two facilities reported for RY2010 and two did not. This screen allows you to either resubmit a report or to submit a initial report for a back year in you determine that is necessary.

Preparing Your Annual GHG Reporting
Viewing the GHG details allows you to see the individual subpart components that were tallied into the roll up totals.
Note that the roll ups are in CO2 equivalent metric tons, in some cases this value will differ from the subpart data you entered because in the subpart you entered data for a gas with a higher GWP than CO2.
For example in the 3rd Row Methane (CH4) there are 14 metric tons however those will example, 3 Row, be multiplied by the global warming potential of 21 in the rollup calculator.
