- Q462. Does the final rule amending 40 CFR Part 98 apply to both onshore and offshore petroleum and natural gas production?
- Q613. Is there any way we can get unlocked subpart W screening spreadsheets from the applicability tool?
- Q614. The applicability tool for Onshore Petroleum and Natural Gas has an operating factor for associated gas venting from produced hydrocarbons. How does this operating factor correlate with the barrels of crude oil produced?
- Q615. With the "Liquefied Natural Gas Storage" option selected in the Applicability Tool, how does the "calculation utility" excel spreadsheet account for "Population Count and Emission Factors" when providing the user with a final CO2e number?
- Q616. Where can I find the screening tool for onshore petroleum and natural gas production?

- Q620. Will the proposed amendments to subpart W issued on June 20, 2011 that delay the due date for BAMM extension requests to December 31, 2011 be finalized before the existing deadline in the rule of July 31, 2011?

- Q623. My question concerns the calculation of standard temperature and pressure. The rule stipulates what standard temperature and pressure are, but how, for an annual average, is actual temperature and pressure defined?
- Q624. Should self-propelled workover equipment be included for reporting GHG emissions under Subpart W?
- Q625. How do I define a facility under subpart W? Are all industry segments included in one annual GHG report?
