This page provides step-by-step instructions on how to enter and edit a Subpart E/V request submission including:

  • Adding/Editing Subpart E/V
  • Uploading file

If you are an owner or operator subject to Part 98 Subpart E (40 CFR 98.50) or Subpart V (40 CFR 98.220) and are applying to the EPA Administrator to use an alternate method to calculate your annual process-related N20 emissions from Adipic Acid or Nitric Acid production for Reporting Year 2015 or later, you must submit your request electronically using a specific form (Alternate_Method_Optional_App.pdf)  and the e-GGRT module described below.  For more information on the requirements for these sectors please see our Subpart E information page or our Subpart V information page.

 Step 1: Adding/Editing Subpart E/V

In e-GGRT, select the facility for which you wish to request an Administrator-approved Alternative Method from the Facility Management page. Next, access the e-GGRT Subpart E/V submission page for the selected facility by selecting "Subpart E/V: Request use of Administrator-approved Alternative Method" at the bottom.
