{"abstract":"EPA is issuing a regulation to amend the calculation and monitoring provisions in the Electronics Manufacturing portion of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule for the \"largest\" semiconductor manufacturing facilities (i.e., those that fabricate devices on wafers measuring 300 millimeters or less in diameter and that have an annual manufacturing capacity of greater than 10,500 square meters). More specifically, for reporting years 2011, 2012, and 2013, these amendments allow the largest semiconductor facilities the option to calculate emissions using default emission factors already contained in the regulations, instead of recipe-specific utilization and by-product formation rates for the plasma etching process type. In addition, this action extends two deadlines in the provisions related to the use of best available monitoring methods.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2011/09/27/2011-24364.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":98,"title":40}],"citation":"76 FR 59542","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This final rule is effective on September 30, 2011.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0927","FRL-9469-3"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2011-24364","effective_on":"2011-09-30","end_page":59551,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2011/09/27/2011-24364.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/09/27/2011-24364/mandatory-reporting-of-greenhouse-gases-changes-to-provisions-for-electronics-manufacturing-to","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2011-24364?publication_date=2011-09-27","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2011-09-27/2011-24364/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":10,"page_views":{"count":72,"last_updated":"2026-09-22 10:15:08 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-09-27/pdf/2011-24364.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2011-09-27","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2011/09/27/2011-24364.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2060-AR26":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["2060-AR26"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Summary of Data Collected to Support Determination of Public Availability of Inputs to Emission Equations for which Reporting was Deferred to March 31, 2015","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0927-0338"},{"title":"Summary of Public Comments and Responses for Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule: Revisions to Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements, and Proposed Confidentiality Determinations Under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0927-0337"},{"title":"Memo from L.
