(a) Reports
						to the Executive Officer are due March 1 every year starting March 1, 2011,
						except the spending plan described in section
						95367(a)(6). Each
						annual report documents monthly data for small containers of automotive
						refrigerant sold and returned during the prior calendar year, January 1 through
						December 31. Reports must be submitted as follows:
(1) Upon request from CARB, each retailer
						must report sales data of the number of small containers of automotive
						refrigerant sold. The sales data must be reported for each SKU, for each
						manufacturer or distributor, for each month, and as totals for each annual
						reporting period.
(2) Upon request
						from CARB, each retailer must report the number of used small containers of
						automotive refrigerant returned by consumers. The returned can data must be
						reported for each SKU, for each manufacturer or distributor, for each month,
						and as totals for each annual reporting period. The data must be reported
						separately for the following categories: returned unused, returned for recycle,
						returned breached, to the extent that the retailer has segregated breached cans
						pursuant to section
						95366(a)(6). Each
						retailer must also report the amounts of deposits collected under section
						95366(a)(1) that
						are not returned or refunded to consumers under section
						95366(a)(3), and
						that are transferred to manufacturers or their designees under section
						95366(a)(4).
(3) Each distributor must report sales data
						of small containers of automotive refrigerant. The sales data must be reported
						for each SKU for each retailer, manufacturer, and for each month.
(4) Each manufacturer must report sales data
						of the number of small containers of automotive refrigerant sold to each
						retailer or distributor within the State. The sales data must be reported for
						each SKU, for each distributor, retailer, or other outlet, for each month and
						as totals for each reporting period.
(5) Each manufacturer must report the number
						of small containers of automotive refrigerant returned for recycling by each
						retailer or distributor within the State. The return data must be reported for
						each SKU, for each distributor, retailer, or other outlet, for each month and

						the can return: returned unused, returned for recycle, returned breached. The
						refrigerant amount recovered must be reported for each manufacturer, and for
						each month.
(7) Each manufacturer
						of small containers of automotive refrigerant, or its designee, must report the
						amounts of both deposits that retailers transfer to it under section
						95366(a)(4), and
						the deposits it collects under section
						95366(b)(1) that
						it does not refund to retailers or distributors under section 96366(b)(4), and
						must also provide an accounting and description of how those funds were spent
						on enhancing consumer education or other programs, projects, and measures
						reducing greenhouse gas emissions for the previous calendar year. The report
						must highlight each component of an educational program or the other programs,
						projects, and measures and funds spent for that component.
(8) Each manufacturer of small containers of
						automotive refrigerant, or its designee, must submit a proposed plan that
						details how it expects to expend unreturned container deposit funds collected
						during the previous calendar year on enhanced consumer education programs or
						other programs, projects, and measures reducing greenhouse gas emissions
						approved by the Executive Officer pursuant to section
						95366(b)(6). The
						proposed plan must highlight each component of an educational program or the
						other programs, projects, and measures and funds to be spent for that
						component. Pursuant to section
						95366(b)(6), a
						manufacturer or its designee may not begin expending these funds without review
						and approval of the plan by CARB's Executive Officer. The plans are to be sent
						to the Executive Officer and are due May 1 every year starting May 1,
						2017.
(9) Each recycler of
						refrigerant from small containers of automotive refrigerant must report the
