The National Greenhouse And Energy Reporting System - Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I know if I have to register?

If a controlling corporation's group (see Q5 below) meets a corporate level threshold, or a member of the controlling corporation's group has operational control of a facility (see Q6 and 7 below) which meets a facility level threshold, it must register with the Greenhouse and Energy Data Officer ("GEDO").

If you do meet or exceed the relevant thresholds (see Q4 below), you must register no later than 31 August 2009 for the reporting year 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009. You can register from 1 July 2008 and obtain access to the on-line reporting system.

In order to determine whether you have an obligation to register, it will be necessary for you to collate relevant data in accordance with the Act's requirements (see Q8 below), during the period 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009. If you register after 1 July 2008 you can utilise the on-line registering system
