98.406—Data reporting requirements.

(a) In addition to the information required by § 98.3(c), the annual report for each NGL fractionator covered by this rule shall contain the following information.
(1) Annual quantity (in barrels) of each NGL product supplied to downstream facilities in the following product categories: ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane, and pentanes plus.
(2) Annual quantity (in barrels) of each NGL product received from other NGL fractionators in the following product categories: ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane, and pentanes plus.
(3) Annual volumes in Mscf of natural gas received for processing.
(4) Annual quantity (in barrels) of y-grade, bulk NGLs received from others for fractionation.
(5) Annual quantity (in barrels) of propane that the NGL fractionator odorizes at the facility and delivers to others.
(6) Annual CO2 emissions (metric tons) that would result from the complete combustion or oxidation of the quantities in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section, calculated in accordance with § 98.403(a) and (c)(1).
(7) Annual CO2 mass emissions (metric tons) that would result from the combustion or oxidation of fractionated NGLs supplied less the quantity received by other fractionators, calculated in accordance with § 98.403(c)(2).
(8) The specific industry standard used to measure each quantity reported in paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
(9) If the NGL fractionator developed reporter-specific EFs or HHVs, report the following for each product type:
(i) The specific industry standard(s) used to develop reporter-specific higher heating value(s) and/or emission factor(s), pursuant to § 98.404(b)(2) and (c)(3).
(ii) The developed HHV(s).
(iii) The developed EF(s).
(b) In addition to the information required by § 98.3(c), the annual report for each LDC shall contain the following information.
(1) Annual volume in Mscf of natural gas received by the LDC at its city gate stations for redelivery on the LDC's distribution system, including for use by the LDC.
(2) Annual volume in Mscf of natural gas placed into storage.
(3) Annual volume in Mscf of vaporized liquefied natural gas (LNG) produced at on-system vaporization facilities for delivery on the distribution system that is not accounted for in paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
(4) Annual volume in Mscf of natural gas withdrawn from on-system storage (that is not delivered to the city gate) for delivery on the distribution system.
(5) Annual volume in Mscf of natural gas delivered directly to LDC systems from producers or natural gas processing plants from local production.
(6) Annual volume in Mscf of natural gas delivered to downstream gas transmission pipelines and other local distribution companies.
(7) Annual volume in Mscf of natural gas delivered by LDC to each meter registering supply equal to or greater than 460,000 Mcsf during the calendar year.
(8) The total annual CO2 mass emissions (metric tons) associated with the volumes in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(7) of this section, calculated in accordance with § 98.403(a) and (b)(1) through (b)(3).
(9) Annual CO2 emissions (metric tons) that would result from the complete combustion or oxidation of the annual supply of natural gas to end-users registering less than 460,000 Mcsf, calculated in accordance with § 98.403(b)(4).
(10) The specific industry standard used to develop the volume reported in paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
(11) If the LDC developed reporter-specific EFs or HHVs, report the following:
(i) The specific industry standard(s) used to develop reporter-specific higher heating value(s) and/or emission factor(s), pursuant to § 98.404 (b)(2) and (c)(3).
(ii) The developed HHV(s).
(iii) The developed EF(s).
(12) The customer name, address, and meter number of each meter reading used to report in paragraph (b)(7) of this section.
(i) If known, report the EIA identification number of each LDC customer.
(ii) [Reserved]
(13) The annual volume in Mscf of natural gas delivered by the local distribution company to each of the following end-use categories. For definitions of these categories, refer to EIA Form 176 (Annual Report of Natural Gas and Supplemental Gas Supply & Disposition) and Instructions.
(i) Residential consumers.
(ii) Commercial consumers.
(iii) Industrial consumers.
(iv) Electricity generating facilities.
(c) Each reporter shall report the number of days in the reporting year for which substitute data procedures were used for the following purpose:
(1) To measure quantity.
(2) To develop HHV(s).
(3) To develop EF(s).
