The CARB Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Regulation (Title 17, California Code of Regulations (CCR), Sections 95100-95157) (MRR) incorporated by reference certain requirements issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) into its final decision on mandatory greenhouse gas reporting (Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 98). Specifically, Article 95100(c) RRM contained the requirements issued by the US EPO, which were published in the Federal Register on 30 October 2009, 12 July 2010, 22 September 2010, 28 October 2010, 30 November 2010, 17 December 2010 and 25 April 2011. (1) Best available monitoring methods. From January 1, 2010 to March 31, 2010, owners or operators can use the best available monitoring methods for all parameters (e.g. Fuel consumption, daily carbon content of feedstock per processing line) that cannot reasonably be measured in accordance with the monitoring and quality assurance and quality control requirements of a relevant subsection. The owner or operator shall use the calculation methods and equations set out in the “GHG Emissions Calculation” sections of each relevant subsection, but may use the best available monitoring method for each parameter for which it is not reasonably practicable to acquire, install and operate required monitoring equipment by January 1, 2010. On or before April 1, 2010, the owner or operator shall cease to apply the best available practices and shall cease to comply with all applicable monitoring, quality assurance and quality control requirements of this Part, except as provided for in paragraphs (d), (2) and (d)(3) of this Division. Best available monitoring methods: any of the following methods referred to in this paragraph: The Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Regulations (Greenhouse Gas Reporting Regulations or DPR) require independent verification of greenhouse gas emission reports.

Installation means any land, plant, building, structure, source or fixed equipment that is in actual physical contact on one or more contiguous or adjacent properties or that is separated exclusively by a highway or other public right-of-way and that is jointly owned or controlled and that emits or is likely to emit greenhouse gases. Operators of military installations may classify such installations as more than one installation on the basis of separate and independent functional groupings within contiguous military assets. (iv) Unless otherwise specified in paragraph (c)(4)(vii) of this Section, emissions and other data shall be reported for individual units, processes, activities and operations in accordance with the section entitled “Reporting Requirements” of each applicable subsection of this Part. (iii) Unless otherwise specified in paragraph (i)(4) to (i)(6) of this section, subsequent recalibrations of flowmeters and other measuring instruments subject to the requirements of paragraph (i) shall be performed. at one of the following frequencies: The GHG Protocol`s Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard provides requirements and guidance to companies and other organizations that compile an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions at the enterprise level. The following standards are designed to provide a framework for businesses, governments and other entities to measure and report their greenhouse gas emissions in a manner that supports their missions and objectives. (a) Each GHG report and certificate of representation of an entity or supplier must be submitted electronically in accordance with the requirements of section 98.4 and in a format determined by the administrator.
