Q523. Are natural gas distribution facilities required to report emissions from residential and commercial customer meters and associated regulator(s) under §98.232(i )?

A523. No. The definition of the “Natural Gas Distribution” industry segment in 40 CFR 98.230(a)(8) specifically excludes customer meters and regulators, infrastructure, and pipelines (both interstate and intrastate) delivering natural gas directly to major industrial users and farm taps upstream of the local distribution company inlet.
