{longname}

A132.

...

The

...

rule

...

generally

...

provides

...

choices

...

for

...

how

...

to

...

collect

...

or

...

measure

...

the

...

data

...

needed

...

for

...

inputs

...

to

...

the

...

GHG

...

calculation

...

equations.

...

In

...

the

...

monitoring

...

plan,

...

you

...

need

...

to

...

describe

...

the

...

processes

...

and

...

methods

...

you

...

are

...

using

...

to

...

collect

...

the

...

necessary

...

data.

...

For

...

example,

...

if

...

you

...

are

...

using

...

Tier

...

1

...

to

...

determine

...

CO2

...

emissions

...

from

...

a

...

stationary

...

fuel

...

combustion

...

source

...

under

...

subpart

...

C,

...

you

...

need

...

to

...

determine

...

the

...

annual

...

mass

...

or

...

volume

...

of

...

fuel

...

combusted

...

during

...

the

...

reporting

...

year

...

for

...

input

...

to

...

equation

...

C-8.

...

The

...

rule

...

specifies

...

that

...

you

...

can

...

use

...

company

...

records

...

or

...

a

...

fuel

...

flow

...

meter

...

to

...

determine

...

the

...

amount

...

of

...

fuel

...

combusted.

...

“Company records” is broadly defined in 40 CFR 98.6.

...

If

...

you

...

decide,

...

for

...

example,

...

to

...

use

...

billing

...

records

...

to

...

determine

...

fuel

...

usage

...

from

...

a

...

boiler,

...

then

...

your

...

monitoring

...

plan

...

could

...

specify

...

that

...

you

...

will

...

obtain

...

monthly

...

bills

...

from

...

the

...

natural

...

gas

...

supplier

...

that

...

show

...

the

...

quantity

...

of

...

gas

...

delivered

...

each

...

month.

...

It

...

could

...

describe

...

any

...

calculations

...

you

...

will

...

do

...

to

...

prorate

...

January

...

and/or

...

December

...

bills

...

to

...

adjust

...

for

...

the

...

amount

...

of

...

fuel

...

burned

...

in

...

the

...

calendar

...

year

...

if

...

the

...

billing

...

cycle

...

does

...

not

...

start

...

on

...

the

...

1st

...

day

...

or

...

each

...

month.

...

And

...

it

...

could

...

specify

...

that

...

you

...

will

...

add

...

the

...

monthly

...

amounts

...

to

...

determine

...

annual

...

natural

...

gas

...

usage

...

during

...

the

...

year,

...

and

...

that

...

a

...

second

...

person

...

will

...

review

...

the

...

calculation

...

for

...

accuracy.
