**Subpart UU**

**— Injection of Carbon Dioxide**  **§ 98. 470**  **Definition of the source category.** (a) The injection of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) source category comprises any well or group of wells that inject a CO 2 stream into the subsurface. (b) If you report under subpart RR of this part for a well or group of wells, you are not required to report under this subpart for that well or group of wells. (c) A facility

that is subject to this part only becau se it is subject to subpart UU of this part is not required to report emissions under subpart C of this part or any other subpart listed in § 98. 2(a)(1) or (a)(2). **§ 98. 471**  **Reporting threshold.** (a) You must report under this subpart if your facility inject s any amount of CO 2 into the subsurface. (b) For purposes of this subpart, any reference to CO 2 emissions in § 98. 2(i) shall mean CO 2 received. **§ 98. 472**  **GHGs to report.** You must report the mass of CO 2 received. **§ 98. 473**  **Calculating CO 2**  **received.** (a) You mu st calculate and report the annual mass of CO 2 received b y pipeline using the procedures in paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section and the procedures in paragraph (a)(3) of this section, if applicable. (1) For a mass flow meter, you must calculate the total annual mass of CO 2 in a CO 2 stream received in metric tons by multiplying the mass flow by the CO 2 concentration in thePage 2 of 11

sample the CO 2 stream at least once per quarter at the point of receipt and measure its CO 2 concentration. (ii) If you took ownership of the CO 2 in a commercial transaction for which the sales contract was contingent on CO 2 concentration, and if the supplier of the CO 2 sampled the CO 2 stream in a quarter and measured its concentration per the sales contract terms, you may use the CO 2 concentration data from the sales contract for that quarter.
