(1) Reporting deadlines.

(a) Stationary sources and electric power system facilities required to register and report under OAR 340-215-0030(2) must register and submit annual emissions data reports to DEQ under OAR 340-215-0044 by the due date for the annual report for non-greenhouse gas emissions specified in the source's Title V Operating Permit or Air Contaminant Discharge Permit, or by March 31 of each year, whichever is later.

(b) The following regulated entities must register and submit annual emissions data reports to DEQ by March 31 of each year:

(A) Natural gas suppliers required to register and report under OAR 340-215-0030(4); and

(B) Petroleum and natural gas systems required to register and report under OAR 340-215-0030(6).

(c) Fuel suppliers and in-state producers required to register and report under OAR 340-215-0030(3) must register and submit an annual emissions data report to DEQ by April 30 of each year.

(d) Electricity suppliers required to register and report under OAR 340-215-0030(5) must register and submit an annual emissions data report to DEQ by June 1 of each year.

(2) Electricity suppliers required to register and report under OAR 340-215-0030(5) must retain documentation supporting claims of each specified source of electricity as required by OAR 340-215-0042(6) beginning in 2022 for data year 2021, and in each year thereafter (i.e., those persons do not have to report that information in reports submitted in 2021).

(3) Regulated entities reporting GHG emissions from biomass-derived fuels or hydrogen may request DEQ approval for exemptions from any of the requirements of OAR 340-215-0042(4) through (7) and OAR 340-215-0044(5) for the 2023 data year. DEQ will not approve exemptions that would impact the quantification of emissions reported under this division. DEQ will consider requests for exemptions based on the regulated entity's inability to implement necessary changes in time to comply with those requirements. Regulated entities must submit requests for exemptions under this section no later than February 1, 2024, and must receive written DEQ approval of exemptions prior to filing 2023 data year reports required under this division. Starting in 2025 for data year 2024, and each year thereafter, regulated entities must report and retain records as described in OAR 340-215-0042(4) through (7) and OAR 340-215-0044(5), as applicable, and DEQ will not approve any exemptions to those requirements.

(4) DEQ may extend the reporting deadlines and effective dates described in this rule as DEQ deems necessary and will issue notice of any extension.

(5) If a reporting deadline described in this rule occurs on a Saturday, Sunday, or an Oregon state holiday, the deadline is extended to the following business day.
