The third total presented in the “roll up” is the quantity of CO2 equivalent for suppliers. Once all subpart data is entered, you will be able to see a comprehensive overview of your emissions with this calculator. 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.

If you intend to discontinue reporting under Part 98 after the current reporting year for the reasons of "cessation of operations" or "exiting the program", you are required to notify EPA by March 30. Please note that there are very specific criteria for cessation and exiting so please read the 'small print' before checking the appropriate box or boxes.
Click image to expand Cessation of Operations This reasoning indicates that all applicable GHG-emitting processes and operations ceased to operate in the current reporting year (98.2(i)(3)), and that you discontinued complying with Part 98 monitoring in the current reporting year when operations ceased. This reasoning also indicates that you intend to discontinue complying with Part 98 after the current reporting year. This notification does not impact your reporting obligations for the current reporting year, and you must resume compliance with Part 98 for any calendar year that your operations resume and become applicable again. Exiting the Program This reasoning indicates that you reported under 15,000 mtC02 equivalent per year for three consecutive years(98.2(i)(2)), and that you discontinued complying with Part 98 monitoring requirements on January 1, 2013. Furthermore, this indicates that you intend to discontinue complying with Part 98 reporting requirements after the current reporting year. This notification does not impact your reporting obligations for the current reporting year, and you must resume compliance with Part 98 if emissions in any future calendar year increase to 25,000 mtC02 or more. Please not that this selection of "exiting the program" option is not applicable to facilities who reported for the first time in RY2011 because they have not yet submitted 3 years of data. If you have ceased operations in the past (prior to January 1 2012) and want to indicate that your reason for not submitting is cessation in a prior year you must contact the GHGRP Help Desk for assistance. If your facility is not subject to reporting because it has not been subject to Part 98 in any year starting in 2010 you may use the "Not Subject" radio button near the bottom of the screen on the Facility Overview page and click SAVE. If you click this button you will not be able to submit a annual report for the subject facility - reporting year. If you do not meet "Not Subject' criteria on the Facility Overview page but still want to indicate that you are not reporting for another reason please contact the GHGRP Help Desk for assistance. If clicked the "Not Subject" button inadvertently or later you find that you are required to submit, click the "clear all" link and then SAVE to clear your radio button selections.
Click image to expand Note: If you are not subject to the rule (e.g., below the reporting threshold), 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 2012" section. This is true even for facilities that registered as a precaution or that submitted a reporting in a previous year. You may optionally select the radio button to 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 select the radio button, 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.
