Suppliers that supplied HFCs from the years 2011-2014 but not currently subject to RY2020
Suppliers no longer required to report using Subpart OO Suppliers of Industrial Greenhouse Gases, but required to and did not previously report, may use e-GGRT to report 2011-2013 as well as RY2014 back-year data. To do so, access the supplier (facility) through the e-GGRT data reporting module. To recover or reset any information regarding access to e-GGRT, please use the following links for more information:
Note that a facility or supplier may be listed as 'Not Expected to Report' if it has previously exited the program or stopped reporting for other reasons. In this case it is necessary to add it back into active reporting status. If the desired facility or supplier is in the table of "FACILITIES NOT EXPECTED TO REPORT for YYYY", use the button "ADD for YYYY" on the Facility Overview Page to move the facility to the table of expected reporting facilities, and then click "OPEN".
In some cases, users will need to add Subpart OO to their facility in order to upload the required reporting forms. To do so, select "ADD or REMOVE Subparts", from the bottom of the table (see screenshot below). Then, find and select Subpart OO, and scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click "SAVE".
