Designated Representative - Part 98 requires each facility and supplier to have one and only one Designated Representative (DR), who shall be responsible for certifying, signing, and submitting GHG reports. If the facility is required to submit reports under 40 CFR 75, the same individual shall be the Designated Representative under both Part 75 and Part 98. The Designated Representative is an individual selected by an agreement binding on the owners and operators of the facility or supplier to meet the requirements of Part 98.
Alternate Designated Representative - Part 98 allows the facility or supplier to designate one Alternate Designated Representative (ADR), who shall be an individual selected by an agreement binding on the owners and operators, and may act on behalf of the designated representative, of such facility or supplier.
Agent - A DR or ADR may delegate his or her authority to one or more individuals, known as Agents, to submit an electronic GHG report.
If you are reporting confidential business information (CBI), please note that the DR, ADR and Agents have equal ability to access, view, enter and submit all e-GGRT data for a facility or supplier.
An important part of facility registration is to use e-GGRT to appoint the DR, optional ADR, and one or more Agents for a facility or supplier. The following subsections describe the appointment process.
