Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) Producer Quarterly Report

Worksheet Instructions:

Complete and submit an HFC Producer Quarterly Report if your facility produces HFCs. Section 1 must be completed prior to submission. Section 2 must be completed if your facility produced HFCs during the reporting quarter; if no HFCs were produced during the quarter, Section 2 may be left blank. Section 3 must be completed if your facility sold or shipped produced HFCs off-site during the quarter for transformation, destruction, or process agent use. Section 4 must be completed if orders were placed or material was produced for application-specific allowance holders. Section 5 must be completed if your facility is a holder of production for export allowances or if your facility is reporting quarter 4 activity. Section 6 must be completed if your facility is reporting quarter 4 activity. Producers of HFC-23: Gross quarterly production reported under Section 2 is the total amount of HFC-23 generated, including the quantity produced for consumptive uses (where allowances were expended), quantity transformed, quantity destroyed, and quantity emitted. Reporting quantities emitted quarterly in column 9 of Section 2 is encouraged, but optional. The total amount of quarterly gross production reported under Section 2 and aggregated for the control period should be the same as the amount of annual HFC-23 generation reported in the fourth quarter report in Section 6. Section 6 distinguishes between those amounts captured for feedstock use and destruction and those amounts used for feedstock and destruction without prior capture.
