* The initial data year is the first data year subject to
						reporting. For example, for District Group A, Sector Phase 1, 2022 data must be
						submitted during 2023. For the sector phases, for each of the initial years,
						only one phase is subject to reporting each year. For example, for District
						Group A, facilities in the Phase 1 sector categories in Table A-3 are subject
						to the sector-based reporting applicability for 2022 emissions data reported in
						2023, but Phase 1 sources are not subject to reporting again until the 2026
						data year. For 2024, only Phase 2 facilities are subject to the sector-based
						reporting applicability, and so on. For District Group A, all sources are
						subject to annual reporting beginning with 2026 data reported in 2027.
** Agricultural operation facilities that are required to
						submit reports pursuant to a threshold identified in section
						93401(a)(4),
						regardless of which threshold category is exceeded, may postpone the initial
						year of reporting to Sector Phase 3.
*** As with the Sector Phase 3B sectors subject to
						reporting per Section
						93401(a)(4)(C),
						Sector 3B sources that are subject to applicability under 93401(a)(4)(A) or
						(B), based on criteria pollutant emissions, must begin ongoing emissions
						reporting with 2028 data reported in 2029. Reporting for these facilities is
						not required prior to 2028 data even if other permitted processes in Sector
						Phases 1, 2, or 3 are present at the facility.
