# §98.306. Data reporting requirements.


In addition to the information required by [§ 98.3(c)](/cfr/40/98.3.md?p=c), each annual report must contain the following information for each electric power system, by chemical:

- (a) **Nameplate capacity of equipment (pounds) containing each insulating gas—**
  - (1) **Existing at the beginning of the year (excluding hermetically sealed-pressure switchgear).**
  - (2) **New hermetically sealed-pressure switchgear during the year.**
  - (3) **New equipment other than hermetically sealed-pressure switchgear during the year.**
  - (4) **Retired hermetically sealed-pressure switchgear during the year.**
  - (5) **Retired equipment other than hermetically sealed-pressure switchgear during the year.**
- (b) **Transmission miles (length of lines carrying voltages above 35 kilovolts).**
- (c) **Distribution miles (length of lines carrying voltages at or below 35 kilovolts).**
- (d) Pounds of each reportable insulating gas stored in containers, but not in energized equipment, at the beginning of the year.
- (e) Pounds of each reportable insulating gas stored in containers, but not in energized equipment, at the end of the year.
- (f) Pounds of each reportable insulating gas purchased or otherwise acquired in bulk from chemical producers, chemical distributors, or other entities.
- (g) Pounds of each reportable insulating gas purchased or otherwise acquired from equipment manufacturers, equipment distributors, or other entities with or inside equipment, including hermetically sealed-pressure switchgear, while the equipment was not in use.
- (h) **Pounds of each reportable insulating gas returned to facility after off-site recycling.**
- (i) Pounds of each reportable insulating gas acquired inside equipment, except hermetically sealed-pressure switchgear, that was transferred while the equipment was in use, e.g., through acquisition of all or part of another electric power system.
- (j) **Pounds of each reportable insulating gas returned to suppliers.**
- (k) **Pounds of each reportable insulating gas that was sold or transferred to other entities in bulk.**
- (l) **Pounds of each reportable insulating gas sent off-site for recycling.**
- (m) **Pounds of each reportable insulating gas sent off-site for destruction.**
- (n) Pounds of each reportable insulating gas contained in equipment, including hermetically sealed-pressure switchgear, that was sold or transferred to other entities while the equipment was not in use.
- (o) Pounds of each reportable insulating gas disbursed inside equipment, except hermetically sealed-pressure switchgear, that was transferred while the equipment was in use, e.g., through sale of all or part of the electric power system to another electric power system.
- (p) **State(s) or territory in which the facility lies.**
- (q) The number of reportable-insulating-gas-containing pieces of equipment in each of the following equipment categories:
  - (1) **New hermetically sealed-pressure switchgear during the year.**
  - (2) **New equipment other than hermetically sealed-pressure switchgear during the year.**
  - (3) **Retired hermetically sealed-pressure switchgear during the year.**
  - (4) **Retired equipment other than hermetically sealed-pressure switchgear during the year.**
- (r) The total of the nameplate capacity values most recently assigned by the electrical equipment manufacturer(s) to each of the following groups of equipment:
  - (1) All new equipment whose nameplate capacity values were measured by the user under this subpart and for which the user adopted the user-measured nameplate capacity value during the year.
  - (2) All retiring equipment whose nameplate capacity values were measured by the user under this subpart and for which the user adopted the user-measured nameplate capacity value during the year.
- (s) The total of the nameplate capacity values measured by the electrical equipment user for each of the following groups of equipment:
  - (1) All new equipment whose nameplate capacity values were measured by the user under this subpart and for which the user adopted the user-measured nameplate capacity value during the year.
  - (2) All retiring equipment whose nameplate capacity values were measured by the user under this subpart and for which the user adopted the user-measured nameplate capacity value during the year.
- (t) For each reportable insulating gas reported in paragraphs [(a)](#a), [(d) through (o)](#d..o), and [(q)](#q) of this section, an ID number or other appropriate descriptor that is unique to that reportable insulating gas.
- (u) For each ID number or descriptor reported in [paragraph (t)](#t) of this section for each unique insulating gas, the name (as required in [§ 98.3(c)(4)(iii)(G)(1)](/cfr/40/98.3.md?p=c-4-iii-G-1)) and weight percent of each fluorinated gas in the insulating gas.
