MEMORANDUM A 

To: Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0028 

From: Barbora Master and Lisa Bacanskas, EPA/Climate Change Division and 

 Charles Goodhue, Amanda Baynham, and Ruth Mead, ERG 

Date: December 20, 2011 

Subject: Proposed data category assignments and CBI determinations for data elements in 40 

CFR part 98, subparts L, DD, II, QQ, RR, SS, TT, and UU that are not inputs to 

emission equations. 

In this memorandum, we show the proposed data category assignments and 

confidentiality determinations for all data elements that that are not inputs to emission equations 

in 40 CFR part 98 in subparts L, DD, QQ, RR, SS, and UU. Also included in this memorandum 

are proposed data category assignments and confidentiality determinations for several new data 

elements that were added to subparts II and TT by the Technical Corrections final rule (76 FR 

73886, November 29, 2011). The rationale for the proposed category assignments and 

confidentiality determinations shown in this memorandum are discussed in detail in the 

Proposed Confidentiality Determinations for 8 Subparts and Proposed Amendments to Table A-6 

in Subpart A under the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule. 

Background

EPA published the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule on October 30, 2009 (74 

FR 56260). This rule was designed to collect information necessary to characterize and quantify 

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from a broad range of industry sectors, including direct 

emitters of GHGs (e.g., glass manufacturing facilities) and suppliers of certain products that 

would result in GHG emissions if released, combusted, or oxidized by the downstream user of 

these products (e.g., fossil fuels and industrial GHGs). The requirements for the Mandatory 

GHG Reporting Rule are codified at 40 CFR Part 98. During the development of Part 98, EPA 

received a number of comments from businesses and other stakeholders regarding their concern 

that some of the data required to be reported consisted of trade secrets and other confidential 

business information (CBI) that, if released to the public, would likely harm their competitive 

position. To address these concerns, EPA published the Proposed Confidentiality 

Determinations for Data Required under the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule and 

Proposed Amendment to Special Rules Governing Certain Information Obtained under the 

Clean Air Act on July 7, 2010 (75 FR 39094) to establish which Part 98 data elements are 

entitled to confidential treatment (referenced hereinafter as the July 7, 2010 CBI proposal). 

The July 7, 2010 CBI proposal included proposed confidentiality determinations for data 

elements in seven Part 98 subparts that had been proposed but not yet finalized at the time of 

publication of the July 7, 2010 CBI proposal. EPA subsequently finalized these subparts plus an 

eighth subpart in three separate amendments to the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule 
2 of 5 

(see 75 FR 74458, November 30, 75 FR 74774, December 1, 2010, and 75 FR 75060, December 

1, 2010). Although EPA had already proposed confidentiality determinations for the data 

elements in the proposed subparts, many data elements were added or significantly changed and 

portions of proposed subpart RR were split off to create a new subpart UU after publication of 

the July 7, 2010 CBI proposal. Additionally, on November 29, 2011, EPA finalized amendments 

to subpart RR. See 2011 Technical Corrections, Clarifying and Other Amendments to Certain 

Provisions of the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule, 76 FR 73886; hereinafter 

referred to as the Technical Corrections final rule. In light of these changes, EPA decided not to 

finalize category assignments and CBI determinations for these subparts in the May 26, 2011 

Confidentiality Determinations for Data Required Under the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas 

Reporting Rule and Amendments to Special Rules Governing Certain Information Obtained 

Under the Clean Air Act (76 FR 30782; hereinafter referred to as the Final CBI rule). As we 

noted in the preamble to the Final CBI rule, we are re-proposing for public comment the 

confidentiality determinations for the data elements in six of these eight subparts (namely 

subparts L, DD, QQ, RR, SS, and UU). The data elements listed in this memorandum reflect the 

list of required data elements finalized in the amendments listed above. 

Also included in the Final CBI Rule were confidentiality determinations for data 

elements in subparts FF, II, OO, and TT (other than inputs to emission equations data elements). 

The Technical Corrections final rule included minor wording clarifications and editorial 

corrections to 17 non-input data elements in subparts FF, II, OO, and TT, as well as added 7 new 

non-input data elements to subparts II and TT. The revisions to the 17 non-input data elements 

do not change the information to be collected and therefore do not affect the final category 

assignments and confidentiality determinations for these data elements published in the Final 

CBI rule; however, EPA is proposing confidentiality determinations for the seven new, noninput, data elements in subparts II and TT in the Proposed Confidentiality Determinations for 8 

Subparts and Proposed Amendments to Table A-6 in Subpart A under the Mandatory Reporting 

of Greenhouse Gases Rule. The proposed category assignments and confidentiality 

determinations for these seven new data elements are shown in Table A-1 of Appendix A in this 

memorandum. 

For additional information regarding the approach and rationale behind the proposed 

category assignments and confidentiality determinations for these data elements, please see the 

action titled Proposed Confidentiality Determinations for 8 Subparts and Proposed Amendments 

to Table A-6 in Subpart A under the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule. Copies of 

the original July 7, 2010 CBI proposal, the Final CBI rule, and the new proposal for the eight 

subparts are available on EPA’s website: 

http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/CBI.html. 

Data Elements Covered in this Memorandum

In this memorandum, we show the data category assignments and proposed 

confidentiality determinations for all data elements that are not “Inputs to Emission Equations” 

that must be reported under the following six final subparts:

• Subpart L, Fluorinated Gas Production (75 FR 74774, December 1, 2010); 
3 of 5 

• Subpart DD, Electrical Transmission and Distribution Equipment Use (75 FR 

74774, December 1, 2010); 

• Subpart QQ, Importers and Exporters of Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Contained 

in Pre-charged Equipment or Closed-cell Foams (75 FR 74774, December 1, 

2010); 

• Subpart RR, Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide (75 FR 75060, December 

1, 2010); 

• Subpart SS, Electrical Equipment Manufacture or Refurbishment (75 FR 74774, 

December 1, 2010); and 

• Subpart UU, Injection of Carbon Dioxide (75 FR 75060, December 1, 2010).1

Additionally, we show the data category assignments and proposed confidentiality 

determinations for data elements that are not inputs to emission equations that were added in the 

Technical Corrections final rule (76 FR 73886, November 29, 2011) for the following two final 

subparts: 

• Subpart II, Industrial Wastewater Treatment (75 FR 39736, July 12, 2010) and 

• Subpart TT, Industrial Waste Landfills (75 FR 39736, July 12, 2010). 

Consistent with the CBI Proposal, each data element was assigned to one of 22 distinct 

data categories (11 data categories for the direct emitter source categories and 11 for the supplier 

source categories). For the list of category assignments and proposed confidentiality 

determinations for the data elements in these eight subparts, see Tables A-1 and A-2 in Appendix 

A at the end of this memorandum. Table A-1 shows the data elements assigned to 10 of the 11 

direct emitter data categories (excludes data elements assigned to the Inputs to Equations 

category) and Table A-2 shows the data elements assigned to the 11 supplier data categories. 

Note that some data elements for subpart RR are included in the direct emitter data categories 

listed in Table A-1 (i.e., data elements that are related to GHG emissions to the atmosphere 

including emissions from surface equipment and from the leakage of CO2 from geologic 

sequestration2), while the remaining subpart RR data elements (i.e., those related to CO2

sequestration) are categorized under the supplier data categories listed in Table A-2. For 

additional information on the data categories and the general approach to making confidentiality 

determinations for these data elements, see the preamble to the Final CBI rule (76 FR 30782). A 

copy of this final rule is available on EPA’s website: 

http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/CBI.html. For the discussion of the rationale for 

the proposed category assignments and CBI determinations for the data elements included in this 

memorandum, please see the action titled Proposed Confidentiality Determinations for 8 

Subparts and Proposed Amendments to Table A-6 in Subpart A under the Mandatory Reporting 

of Greenhouse Gases Rule. 

 

1

 EPA initially proposed subparts RR and UU as a single subpart (subpart RR); however, as a result of public 

comments on subpart RR, EPA moved all definitions, requirements, and procedures for facilities only conducting 

CO2 injection (without geologic sequestration) into a new subpart (subpart UU). Subpart RR retained all definitions, 

requirements, and procedures related to facilities conducting geologic sequestration. 

2

 Leakage is defined in subpart RR as the movement of CO2 from the injection zone to the surface (for example to 

the atmosphere, indoor air, oceans or surface water) (see 75 FR 75060, December 1, 2010). 
4 of 5 

This memorandum does not include confidentiality determinations for data elements 

assigned to the inputs to emission equations data category. Please see EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0028 

Memo B for background and a table of data elements assigned to the inputs to emission 

equations data category.
