The ReportingPeriod component contains the activity data for a given time period for which emissions are submitted. This component is the "parent" component of all emissions and activity data submitted.
Consistency with inventory year. The reporting period must occur within the inventory year for which you are reporting. EPA will consider your reported emissions and activity data as your best representation of activity and emissions for the current inventory year. If the activity data you used to calculate emissions for the current inventory cycle originated in an earlier year, indicate that in ActivityDataYear.
Open submission period. The reporting period must be within an inventory year for which there is an open submission period for the reporting entity. Emissions for the previous or future inventory year will be rejected by EIS.
Full year reporting. A full annual record must be reported, at a minimum, for each facility site, unit, and process. Monthly emissions cannot be reported for point sources.
Reporting Activity Information.Thoughput (also called Activity) data are included as part of the ReportingPeriod component as the data element named "CalculationParameterValue". Activity data are the basis for estimating emissions for emission processes for any given reporting period. For this reason, you should always submit your activity data along with all emissions records in your Point Submittal Data Block. If you need to make an addition, correction, or deletion to activity data, you must resubmit the entire Point Submittal Data Block, again resubmitting emissions data for all pollutants.
The time period type for which emissions are reported.
