  12. Type of high-GWP refrigerant(s) used;
  13. The total weight in pounds of each type of high-GWP refrigerant that the facility purchased during the reporting period;
  14. The total weight in pounds of each type of high-GWP refrigerant that was charged into a refrigeration system during the reporting period, but was not part of an initial refrigerant charge;
  15. The total weight in pounds of each type of high-GWP refrigerant that was recovered from a refrigeration system during the reporting period;
  16. The total weight in pounds of each type of high-GWP refrigerant that was stored in inventory at the facility, or stored at a different location for use by the facility, on the last day of the reporting period; and
