The Location component defines the geographic location of the nonpoint emissions. It also contains the child component, LocationEmissionsProcess.
The Nonpoint location block must contain one combination of Tribe; State and County; State, County, and Census Block; State, County, Census Tract and Block; or State and Country.
A valid geographic location must be reported in order for any related activity or emissions data to be accepted into the EIS. For most emissions inventories, nonpoint emissions data are submitted primarily at the County and Tribal level, and it is expected that this will be true for future inventories. However, the EIS supports census tract, census block, and reporting shapefiles for EPA-defined geospatial areas as well.
The complete Census Tract ID is comprised of the State and County FIPS + the Census Tract ID.
The list is from FIPS Counties codes used for the identification of the Counties and County equivalents of the United States.
