The reporting boundary of a transitional inventory is self-defined by the Member based on the following parameters:
• Scopes
• Gases
• Activity types (stationary combustion, etc.)
• Geographic/operational boundaries (country, state, business units, facility, etc.)
The transitional reporting option is available only during a Member’s first five emissions years, after which time a waiver is required to continue to report on a transitional basis. The waiver must set a target date for complete reporting, provide justification for the requested extension, identifies the steps being taken to achieve a complete inventory (such as an inventory management plan) and identify any obstacles or limitations prohibiting you from reporting completely to The Registry after five years.
