# §98.476. Data reporting requirements.


If you are subject to this part and report under this subpart, you are not required to report the information in [§ 98.3(c)(4)](/cfr/40/98.3.md?p=c-4) for this subpart. In addition to the information required by [§ 98.3(c)(1)](/cfr/40/98.3.md?p=c-1) through [§ 98.3(c)(3)](/cfr/40/98.3.md?p=c-3) and by [§ 98.3(c)(5)](/cfr/40/98.3.md?p=c-5) through [§ 98.3(c)(9)](/cfr/40/98.3.md?p=c-9), you must report the information listed in this section.

- (a) If you receive CO2 by pipeline, report the following for each receiving flow meter:
  - (1) **The total net mass of CO<I>2</I> received (metric tons) annually.**
  - (2) If a volumetric flow meter is used to receive CO2:
    - (i) The volumetric flow through a receiving flow meter at standard conditions (in standard cubic meters) in each quarter.
    - (ii) The volumetric flow through a receiving flow meter that is redelivered to another facility without being injected into your well (in standard cubic meters) in each quarter.
    - (iii) The CO2 concentration in the flow (volume percent CO2 expressed as a decimal fraction) in each quarter.
  - (3) If a mass flow meter is used to receive CO2:
    - (i) **The mass flow through a receiving flow meter (in metric tons) in each quarter.**
    - (ii) The mass flow through a receiving flow meter that is redelivered to another facility without being injected into your well (in metric tons) in each quarter.
    - (iii) The CO2 concentration in the flow (weight percent CO2 expressed as a decimal fraction) in each quarter.
  - (4) The standard or method used to calculate each value in [paragraphs (a)(2) through (a)(3)](#a-2..a-3) of this section.
  - (5) The number of times in the reporting year for which substitute data procedures were used to calculate values reported in [paragraphs (a)(2) through (a)(3)](#a-2..a-3) of this section.
  - (6) **Whether the flow meter is mass or volumetric.**
- (b) If you receive CO2 in containers, report:
  - (1) The mass (in metric tons) or volume at standard conditions (in standard cubic meters) of contents in containers in each quarter.
  - (2) The concentration of CO2 of contents in containers (volume or weight percent CO2 expressed as a decimal fraction) in each quarter.
  - (3) The mass (in metric tons) or volume (in standard cubic meters) of contents in containers that is redelivered to another facility without being injected into your well in each quarter.
  - (4) **The net total mass of CO<I>2</I> received (in metric tons) annually.**
  - (5) The standard or method used to calculate each value in paragraphs [(b)(1)](#b-1), [(b)(2)](#b-2), and [(b)(3)](#b-3) of this section.
  - (6) The number of times in the reporting year for which substitute data procedures were used to calculate values reported in paragraphs [(b)(1)](#b-1) and [(b)(2)](#b-2) of this section.
- (c) If you use more than one receiving flow meter, report the net total mass of CO2 received (metric tons) through all flow meters annually.
- (d) **The source of the CO<I>2</I> received according to the following categories—**
  - (1) **CO<I>2</I> production wells.**
  - (2) **Electric generating unit.**
  - (3) **Ethanol plant.**
  - (4) **Pulp and paper mill.**
  - (5) **Natural gas processing.**
  - (6) **Gasification operations.**
  - (7) **Other anthropogenic source.**
  - (8) **Discontinued enhanced oil and gas recovery project.**
  - (9) **Unknown.**
- (e) **Report the following—**
  - (1) Whether the facility received a Research and Development project exemption from reporting under [40 CFR part 98](/cfr/40/part98.md), [subpart RR](/cfr/40/subpartRR.md), for this reporting year. If you received an exemption, report the start and end dates of the exemption approved by EPA.
  - (2) Whether the facility includes a well or group of wells where a CO2 stream was injected into subsurface geologic formations to enhance the recovery of oil during this reporting year.
  - (3) Whether the facility includes a well or group of wells where a CO2 stream was injected into subsurface geologic formations to enhance the recovery of natural gas during this reporting year.
  - (4) Whether the facility includes a well or group of wells where a CO2 stream was injected into subsurface geologic formations for acid gas disposal during this reporting year.
  - (5) Whether the facility includes a well or group of wells where a CO2 stream was injected for a purpose other than those listed in [paragraphs (e)(1) through (4)](#e-1..e-4) of this section. If you injected CO2 for another purpose, report the purpose of the injection.
