# §98.526. 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 information specified in [paragraphs (a) through (c)](#a..c) of this section, as applicable:

- (a) The total number of ceramics process units at the facility and the number of units that operated during the reporting year.
- (b) If a CEMS is used to measure CO2 emissions from ceramics process units, then you must report under this subpart the relevant information required under [§ 98.36](/cfr/40/98.36.md) for the Tier 4 Calculation Methodology and the following information specified in [paragraphs (b)(1) through (3)](#b-1..b-3) of this section.
  - (1) The annual quantity of each carbonate-based raw material (including clay) charged to each ceramics process unit and for all units combined (tons).
  - (2) Annual quantity of each type of ceramics product manufactured by each ceramics process unit and by all units combined (tons).
  - (3) **Annual production capacity for each ceramics process unit (tons).**
- (c) If a CEMS is not used to measure CO2 emissions from ceramics process units and process CO2 emissions are calculated according to the procedures specified in [§ 98.523(b)](/cfr/40/98.523.md?p=b), then you must report the following information specified in [paragraphs (c)(1) through (7)](#c-1..c-7) of this section.
  - (1) Annual process emissions of CO2 (metric tons) for each ceramics process unit and for all units combined.
  - (2) The annual quantity of each carbonate-based raw material (including clay) charged to each ceramics process unit and for all units combined (tons).
  - (3) Results of all tests used to verify each carbonate-based mineral mass fraction for each carbonate-based raw material charged to a ceramics process unit, as specified in [paragraphs (c)(3)(i) through (iii)](#c-3-i..c-3-iii) of this section.
    - (i) **Date of test.**
    - (ii) **Method(s) and any variations used in the analyses.**
    - (iii) **Mass fraction of each sample analyzed.**
  - (4) Method used to determine the decimal mass fraction of carbonate-based mineral, unless you used the default value of 1.0 (e.g., supplier provided information, analyses of representative samples you collected, or use of a default value of 0.005 as specified by [§ 98.524(b)](/cfr/40/98.524.md?p=b)).
  - (5) Annual quantity of each type of ceramics product manufactured by each ceramics process unit and by all units combined (tons).
  - (6) **Annual production capacity for each ceramics process unit (tons).**
  - (7) If you use the missing data procedures in [§ 98.525(b)](/cfr/40/98.525.md?p=b), you must report for each applicable ceramics process unit the number of times in the reporting year that missing data procedures were followed to measure monthly quantities of carbonate-based raw materials or mass fraction of the carbonate-based minerals (months).
