98.156—Data reporting requirements.

(a) In addition to the information required by § 98.3(c), the HCFC-22 production facility shall report the following information at the facility level:
(1) Annual mass of HCFC-22 produced in metric tons.
(2) Loss Factor used to account for the loss of HCFC- 22 upstream of the measurement.
(3) Annual mass of reactants fed into the process in metric tons of reactant.
(4) The mass (in metric tons) of materials other than HCFC-22 and HFC-23 (i.e., unreacted reactants, HCl and other by-products) that occur in more than trace concentrations and that are permanently removed from the process.
(5) The method for tracking startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions and HFC-23 generation/emissions during these events.
(6) The names and addresses of facilities to which any HFC-23 was sent for destruction, and the quantities of HFC-23 (metric tons) sent to each.
(7) Annual mass of the HFC-23 generated in metric tons.
(8) Annual mass of any HFC-23 sent off site for sale in metric tons.
(9) Annual mass of any HFC-23 sent off site for destruction in metric tons.
(10) Mass of HFC-23 in storage at the beginning and end of the year, in metric tons.
(11) Annual mass of HFC-23 emitted in metric tons.
(12) Annual mass of HFC-23 emitted from equipment leaks in metric tons.
(13) Annual mass of HFC-23 emitted from process vents in metric tons.
(b) In addition to the information required by § 98.3(c), facilities that destroy HFC-23 shall report the following for each HFC-23 destruction process:
(1) Annual mass of HFC-23 fed into the destruction device.
(2) Annual mass of HFC-23 destroyed.
(3) Annual mass of HFC-23 emitted from the destruction device.
(c) Each HFC-23 destruction facility shall report the concentration (mass fraction) of HFC-23 measured at the outlet of the destruction device during the facility's annual HFC-23 concentration measurements at the outlet of the device.
(d) If the HFC-23 concentration measured pursuant to § 98.154(l) is greater than that measured during the performance test that is the basis for the destruction efficiency (DE), the facility shall report the revised destruction efficiency calculated under § 98.154(l) and the values used to calculate it, specifying whether § 98.154(l)(1) or § 98.154(l)(2) has been used for the calculation. Specifically, the facility shall report the following:
(1) Flow rate of HFC-23 being fed into the destruction device in kg/hr.
(2) Concentration (mass fraction) of HFC-23 at the outlet of the destruction device.
(3) Flow rate at the outlet of the destruction device in kg/hr.
(4) Emission rate (in kg/hr) calculated from paragraphs (d)(2) and (d)(3) of this section.
(5) Destruction efficiency (DE) calculated from paragraphs (d)(1) and (d)(4) of this section.
(e) By March 31, 2011 or within 60 days of commencing HFC-23 destruction, HFC-23 destruction facilities shall submit a one-time report including the following information for each destruction process:
(1) Destruction efficiency (DE).
(2) The methods used to determine destruction efficiency.
(3) The methods used to record the mass of HFC-23 destroyed.
(4) The name of other relevant federal or state regulations that may apply to the destruction process.
(5) If any changes are made that affect HFC-23 destruction efficiency or the methods used to record volume destroyed, then these changes must be reflected in a revision to this report. The revised report must be submitted to EPA within 60 days of the change.
