Ammonia Manufacturing facilities are facilities that produce ammonia either by steam reforming or gasification of a hydrocarbon feedstock. Ammonia is a major industrial chemical that is mainly used as fertilizer, directly applied as anhydrous ammonia, or further processed into urea, ammonium nitrates, ammonium phosphates, and other nitrogen compounds Ammonia also is used to produce plastics, synthetic fibers and resins, and explosives.

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is a naturally occurring gas and is a by-product of burning fossil fuels and biomass, as well as land-use changes and other industrial processes. It is the principal anthropogenic greenhouse gas that affects the Earth's radiative balance. It is the reference gas against which other greenhouse gases are measured and therefore has a Global Warming Potential of 1.

Delayed Coking Unit is a refinery process unit in which high molecular weight petroleum derivatives are thermally cracked and petroleum coke is produced in a series of closed, batch system reactors. A delayed coking unit consists of the coke drums and ancillary equipment associated with a single fractionator.

Direct emitters are facilities that combust fuels or otherwise put GHGs into the atmosphere directly from their facility. An example of this is a power plant that burns coal or natural gas and emits carbon dioxide directly into the atmosphere.

EAFS (Electric Arc Furnace) is a furnace that produces molten alloy metal and heats the charge materials with electric arcs from carbon electrodes.

Exporter is any person, company or organization of record that transfers for sale or for other benefit, domestic products from the United States to another country or to an affiliate in another country, excluding any such transfers on behalf of the United States military or military purposes including foreign military sales under the Arms Export Control Act. An exporter is not the entity merely transporting the domestic products, rather an exporter is the entity deriving the principal benefit from the transaction.

Fully fluorinated greenhouse gases (GHGs) are fluorinated GHGs that contain only single bonds and in which all available valence locations are filled by fluorine atoms. This includes but is not limited to: Saturated perfluorocarbons; SF₆; NF₃; SF₅CF₃; fully fluorinated linear, branched, and cyclic alkanes; fully fluorinated ethers; fully fluorinated tertiary amines; fully fluorinated aminoethers; and perfluoropolyethers. For electronics manufacturing, “fluorinated GHGs” in this definition includes fluorinated heat transfer fluids as defined in §98.98.  Fully fluorinated GHGs are the longest-lived, most potent GHGs. Their atmospheric lifetimes range from 500 to 50,000 years and their GWPs range from 6,000 to 23,000. Once released, they are essentially permanent additions to the atmosphere.

Gas collection system is a system of pipes used to collect landfill gas from different locations in the landfill by means of a fan or similar mechanical draft equipment to a single location for treatment (thermal destruction) or use. A single landfill may have multiple gas collection systems. Landfill gas collection systems do not include “passive” systems, whereby landfill gas flows naturally to the surface of the landfill where an opening or pipe (vent) is installed to allow for natural gas flow.

...

Greenhouse Gas is any gas that absorbs infrared radiation in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases include, but are not limited to, water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), ozone (O₃), and fluorinated GHGs such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆).

HFC-23 is a type of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) and a greenhouse gas. HFC-23 is emitted as a by-product during the production of HCFC-22 (a refrigerant and chemical feedstock) and during the production of other HFCs. HFC-23 is also used in and emitted during electronics manufacturing. HFC-23 has a global warming potential of 14,800.

Importer is any person, company, or organization of record that for any reason brings a product into the United States from a foreign country, excluding introduction into U.S. jurisdiction exclusively for United States military purposes. An importer is the person, company, or organization primarily liable for the payment of any duties on the merchandise or an authorized agent acting on their behalf.

Lead Production facilities are facilities that produce lead using primary and secondary lead smelters. A primary lead smelter produces lead metal from lead sulfide ore concentrates. A secondary lead smelter recycles lead-bearing scrap materials (including but not limited to lead-acid batteries) by smelting into elemental lead or lead alloys. Lead is a metal used to produce various products such as batteries, ammunition, construction materials, electrical components and accessories, and vehicle parts.

NAICS code is the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code. It is a six-digit code that represents the product, activity, or service at a facility or supplier. The codes are listed in the Federal Register and defined in “North American Industrial Classification System Manual 2012,” available from the U.S. Department of Commerce at http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/

Nitrous Oxide (N₂O) is a powerful greenhouse gas. Major sources of nitrous oxide include soil cultivation practices, especially the use of commercial and organic fertilizers, fossil fuel combustion, nitric acid production, and biomass burning. The global warming potential of nitrous oxide used by the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program is 298.

Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are a group of man-made chemicals composed of carbon and fluorine only. PFCs are primarily emitted from industrial processes. In some cases, they are inputs into these processes; in others, they are by-products. PFCs do not harm the stratospheric ozone layer, but saturated PFCs (PFCs with only single bonds) are powerful greenhouse gases with very long atmospheric lifetimes. Some important PFCs include: Perfluoroethane  and Perfluoromethane .

Suppliers are those entities that supply products into the economy which if combusted, released or oxidized emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These fuels and industrial gases are not emitted from the supplier facility but instead distributed throughout the country and used. An example of this is gasoline, which is sold in the U.S. and primarily burned in cars throughout the country. The majority of GHG emissions associated with the transportation, residential and commercial sectors are accounted for by these suppliers.
