Data element 'DateTimeReportGenerated' is meant to serve as a timestamp for e-GGRT generated XML files. It should not apply to direct XML reporters because the information cannot be verified. Unless the system is configured to automatically insert a timestamp value for this data element into every direct reporter's XML file upon upload, then the data element should be defined as optional.The same concern applies to the DateSubmitted data element. As noted above, unless the system is inserting this value into each XML report submitted, then it serves no meaningful purpose to collect it because the information cannot be verified.

On the Uploaded Annual Report Summary screen, the reference 'CO2 (Nonbiogenic Carbon dioxide C-JJ)' contains a missing 'e'. It should be displayed as 'CO2 (Nonbiogenic Carbon dioxide C-JJ)'. We removed the 'e' for biogenic CO2 but should have kept it for nonbiogenic references.

C

Data element 'OtherUnitName' is mislabeled.

This data element is actually associated with data element, 'UnitType', not 'UnitName'. If the type of unit you are reporting is not included in the list of enumerated values, then for data element 'UnitType', report value 'OCS (Other combustion source)', and then for data element 'OtherUnitName', specify the unit type used.

SubPartC/UnitsCDetails/UnitIdentification/OtherUnitName

C

Background: Reporters indicating the combustion of a "Tier 2 (Equation C-2a)" fuel are required to indicate, on a monthly basis, if substituted values were used in determining the HHV for each fuel. Secondly, they are required to report the frequency of HHV determinations. However, these two requirements do not apply to reporters that indicate the combustion of municipal solid waste, "Tier 2 (Equation C-2c)". Issue: In e-GGRT, when a reporter selects a fuel that is applicable to Tier 2 (Equation C-2c), the e-GGRT-generated XML file includes values for "Tier2MonthlyHHVDetails" data elements, all with "N" for "IsSubstitutedIndicator". It does not include a value for data element "FrequencyofHighHeatValueDetermination". (It should not include either data element.)

The calculation spreadsheet for subpart E contains a locked cell that shouldn't be. Cell C24 refers to the following questions, "Are N2O emissions estimated using an administrator-approved alternate method or one or more adipic acid production units?". Because the cell is write-protected, users are unable to select an answer (yes or no) from the dropdown. In addition, there is logic built in to that cell so that when an answer is entered, the cells located directly beneath it are revealed.

There are two unit of measure attributes for data element 'FeedstockQuantity': massUOM and volUOM. The second one (volUOM) is not permitted in e-GGRT and should be removed from the schema.

If you are reporting the feedstock quantity for a stationary combustion unit that burns ethylene process off-gas, report the unit of measure only in terms of its mass.

The schema does not include a data element for reporting other types of flares. In addition, the list of enumerations for the data element 'FlareType' contains redundant values, 'Other' and 'Other (specify)'.

MRR 98.256 (q) specifies that one or more methods for determing the annual average CO2 concentration can be reported, but only one is allowed using the schema via the data element, 'AnnualAverageCarbonDioxideConcentrationMethod'.

Data element 'CombustionUnitIDDetails' is not captured in e-GGRT. This information was replaced by the CML configuration ID/name, presumably to promote consistency among the various subparts. As such, it should be removed.

The 'ProductFeedStockDetails' data element contains somewhat redundant child elements: 'Name' and 'Type'. There are enumerated values for data element 'Type' but none for 'Name'. In contrast, e-GGRT only references the Name field and it has all of the same enumerated values defined in the schema for 'Type'. However, when e-GGRT generates XML, it populates only the 'Name' data element with the selected enumerated value. This is a data integrity issue and e-GGRT should be changed to reflect the schema in this particular case.

Report the Type as this correctly describes the data captured.

SubPartX/MassBalanceDetails/ProductFeedStockDetails/Name or Type

Some of the child data elements of 'OtherProductFeedStockDetails' are not grouped in a meaningful way and as a result, and may confuse reporters. The MRR states the following, '...if the method used to determine the carbon content or composition is 'Industry standard practice for carbon black', then specify the practice.' In the schema, the data element for 'IndustryPracticeDescription' is positioned above the data element 'CarbonContentMethod'. For more consistency with the flow of the rule, move data element 'IndustryPracticeDescription' immediately below 'OtherCarbonContentMethod'

Because of the schema's design, facilities reporting emissions for CEMS units have to report the same unit identification data in two separate places within their XML file. This redundancy introduces the risk of mismatching unit data.

The values displayed in e-GGRT for data elements 'CH4EmissionsCalculationMethod' and 'N2OEmissionsCalculationMethod' do not exactly match what is defined within the schema. The values displayed in e-GGRT are abbreviated and easier to read but may confuse direct XML reporters. For example, value 'Equation Y-9' translates into 'Equation Y-9 with a default emission factor' in the schema. Such inconsistencies may cause some users to wonder if these two values are the same?

Report the value exactly as defined within the schema and not how it is displayed in e-GGRT.
