Section 83: Guidance on reporting

462.Subsection (1) of this section requires the Secretary of State to publish guidance on how greenhouse gas emissions can be measured or calculated by persons responsible for activities which lead to those emissions. The intention behind the guidance is to support businesses wishing to report on their emissions and to improve the consistency of emissions reporting by those businesses, so that the reports can be more easily understood and compared.

463.Subsection (2) requires the Secretary of State to publish the guidance by 1st October 2009 and subsection (3) allows the Secretary of State to revise the guidance from time to time. Subsection (4) places the Secretary of State under an obligation to consult the other national authorities (see section 95) before publishing or revising any guidance and subsection (5) allows the Secretary of State to publish the guidance in any manner he considers appropriate.
