MEMORANDUM-FINAL DATA CATEGORY ASSIGNMENTS AND 

CONFIDENTIALITY DETERMINATIONS FOR THE 2012 FINAL CBI RULE 

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

From: Lisa Bacanskas, EPA, Climate Change Division 

Date: August 1, 2012 

Subject: Final data category assignments for data reporting elements in 40 CFR part 98, 

subparts I, W, DD, II, QQ, RR, SS, TT, and UU. 

In this memorandum, we show the final data category assignments for data reporting elements in 

subparts I, W, DD, II, QQ, RR, SS, TT, and UU of 40 CFR part 98 (hereafter referred to as “Part 

98”) as referenced in the Final Confidentiality Determinations for Nine Subparts and 

Amendments to Subpart A and I under the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule 

(hereafter referred to as the “2012 Final CBI Rule”). 

Appendix A of this memorandum consists of four tables. Table 1 of Appendix A shows the final 

data category assignments and CBI determinations for data reporting elements in direct emitter 

subparts I, W, DD, II, RR,1 SS, and TT. 

For subparts II and TT, Table 1 includes confidentiality determinations for the new data elements 

that were added subsequent to the 2011 Final CBI Rule, which finalized confidentiality 

determinations for subpart II and TT data elements except those in the inputs to equations 

category.2 Each data element in Table 1 is assigned to one of the 10 direct emitter data 

categories. Each data element has been marked to indicate whether it has been determined to be 

emission data; not emission data and CBI; not emission data and not CBI; or not emission data 

but no CBI determination has been made.3 

Similarly, Table 2 includes the complete list of supplier data elements for which we have 

finalized data category assignments and CBI determinations in the 2012 Final CBI Rule for 

subparts QQ, RR, and UU. Each data element is assigned to one of the 11 supplier data 

categories. Each data element has been marked to indicate whether it has been determined to be 

 

1

 Subpart RR contains elements of both direct emitter and supplier categories and is therefore listed as both a direct 

emitter and a supplier source category. For the purposes of this action, EPA placed each subpart RR data element 

into the appropriate category based on its data type, data characteristics, and whether it related to direct emissions 

from the facility or to GHG supply. 

2

 The category assignments and CBI determinations for all other subpart II and TT data elements (excluding inputs) 

were finalized in 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; hereafter referred to as the “2011 Final CBI rule”) (see 75 FR 30782, May 26, 2011) and are listed in a 

separate memorandum titled Final Data Category Assignments and Confidentiality Determinations for Part 98 

Reporting Elements (see http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/downloads11/documents/CBI-final-datacategory.pdf). 

3

 The EPA will evaluate the confidentiality status of data elements with no determination on a case-by-case basis, in 

accordance with existing CBI regulations in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. 
2 

not emission data and not CBI; not emission data and CBI; or not emission data but no CBI 

determination has been made (case-by-case determination).

Table 3 contains the list of data elements which we have assigned to the “Inputs to Emission 

Equations” data category in the 2012 Final CBI rule. These include inputs in subparts W, FF, and 

TT that were added by the Technical Corrections final rule (76 FR 73886, November 29, 2011). 

No final confidentiality determinations have been made for the data elements listed in Table 3. 

These data elements have been added to either Table A-6 or A-7 of subpart A of Part 98, thus 

deferring their reporting deadline until either March 31, 2013 (Table A-6 of subpart A of Part 98) 

or March 31, 2015 (Table A-7 of subpart A of Part 98). 

Table 4 contains the list of recipe-specific subpart I data elements for which we have not 

finalized confidentiality determinations in the 2012 Final CBI Rule. These data elements include 

all recipe-specific subpart I data elements (excluding inputs). As noted above, data category 

assignments and final CBI determinations for all other subpart I data elements (excluding inputs 

to emission equations for which the reporting deadline has been deferred) can be found in Table 

1 of this memorandum.
