Background On December 11, 2014 EPA amended certain provisions of subpart L, Fluorinated Gas Production, to reduce the level of detail in which emissions are reported, eliminate the mass-balance emission calculation method, and clarify the emission factor method. A new web form has been developed to reflect the revised reporting requirements. The revised reporting requirements are applicable to all reporting years to date, from RY 2011 through RY 2014. Facilities are required to fill out and submit a subpart L form for each of these years by March 31, 2015. These full reports will replace the partial reports that were submitted under the temporary reporting provisions that were finalized in 2012 and extended in 2013 (77 FR 51477 and 78 FR 71904). In the same final rule, EPA added chemical-specific and default GWPs to Table A-1 to ensure that all fluorinated GHGs are assigned GWPs. Subpart L reporters are required to use the most recent GWPs on Table A-1 to report their CO2e emissions for all reporting years (RY 2011 through RY 2014). 3

Subpart L Reporting Form – Multi Product Report emissions for each production or transformation process by F- GHG group and emission type. – Define process details (name, type, characterize, emission method used) – Provide process vent emissions by F-GHG group (metric tons CO2e). – Provide equipment leak emissions by F-GHG group (metric tons CO2e). Report emissions across all production and transformation processes for each F-GHG emitted > 1,000 mtCO2e by individual F-GHG (metric tons) Report emissions across all production and transformation processes for all F-GHGs emitted <1,000 mtCO2e by F-GHG group (metric tons CO2e) Report emissions from destruction of previously produced F-GHGs by individual F-GHG (metric tons) Report container venting emissions by individual F-GHG (metric tons) 14 1 2 3 4 5
15
Calculating CO2e Emissions by F-GHG Group For each group, sum the GWP-weighted emissions of all of the F-GHGs in that group. – If the F-GHG has a chemical-specific GWP in Table A-1, use that GWP. – If the F-GHG does NOT have a chemical-specific GWP in Table A- 1, use the default GWP of the fluorinated GHG group. Example: Emissions consist of two “Saturated HFEs with 3 or more carbon-hydrogen bonds”: – 10 tons HFE-365mcf2 w/chemical-specific GWP = 58 – 10 tons HFE-374me2 w/default GWP = 270 – Report emissions of 10 x 58 + 10 x 270 = 3,280 tons CO2e Use the newest GWPs for reporting years 2011 thru 2014 15

Subpart L Simplified Reporting Form Instructions Complete Subpart L form for Fluorinated Gas Producers that Destroy Fluorinated GHGs (simplified reporting form in Excel). The SRF includes three parts: Facility information and set-up questions Destruction device testing (all destruction processes) Missing data for destruction processes for previously produced F-GHGs. All reporting years contained in one Excel file – fill in the tabs for applicable reporting years. Must be uploaded under the Subpart OO webform in e-GGRT. Filename “Subpart L_for Producers of F Gas that Destroy F- GHGs.xls”, available at: http://www.ccdsupport.com/confluence/display/help/Reporting+Form+Instructions# http://www.ccdsupport.com/confluence/display/help/Reporting+Form+Instructions# 28

Subpart L Reporting Form – One Product Report emissions for each production or transformation process by F-GHG group (and emission type, if using emission factor method). – Define process details (name, type, characterize, emission method used) – Provide process vent emissions by F-GHG group (metric tons CO2e). – Provide equipment leak emissions by F-GHG group (metric tons CO2e). Report emissions across all production and transformation processes by individual F-GHG for each F-GHG emitted that IS a major F-GHG constituent of a product sold or transferred to another person (metric tons) Report emissions across all production and transformation processes by F- GHG group for all F-GHGs emitted that are NOT major F-GHG constituents of a product sold or transferred to another person (metric tons CO2e) Report emissions from destruction of previously produced F-GHGs by individual F-GHG (metric tons) Report emissions from container venting by individual F-GHG (metric tons) 35 1 2 3 4 5

Definition of “Major F-GHG Constituent” A major constituent of a fluorinated gas product means a fluorinated GHG constituent of a fluorinated gas product that occurs in concentrations greater than 1 percent by mass. 36

Recap of Subpart L Reporting in e-GGRT Facilities that produce fluorinated gas must fill out the subpart L web form in e-GGRT. Complete for RY2011, RY2012, RY2013, RY2014 Complete the Subpart L form for Fluorinated Gas Producers that Destroy Fluorinated GHGs (simplified reporting form in Excel), and upload under the subpart OO webform in e-GGRT. Due March 31, 2015 for all reporting years. 40
