36 Declaration about compliance of engineering baseline emissions model
(1) An engineering baseline emissions model for an implementation must be the subject of a declaration made by an independent measurement and verification professional that the model complies with the requirements of this determination.
(2) A declaration complies with this section if:
(a) the declaration is signed by the independent measurement and verification professional; and
(b) before signing the declaration, the independent measurement and verification professional had been provided with all the information about the engineering baseline emissions model reasonably required to be satisfied that the model complies with the requirements of this determination; and
(c) the information provided was accurate and did not contain anything that was false or misleading in a material particular; and
(d) the project proponent obtained any documents supporting the making of the declaration from the independent measurement and verification professional:
(i) at the same time as the signed declaration was provided to the project proponent by the independent measurement and verification professional; or
(ii) as soon as reasonably practicable after the declaration was provided but, in any event, before the end of the reporting period in which the implementation to which the declaration relates is completed; and
(e) the declaration is provided to the project proponent before the end of the reporting period in which the implementation to which it relates is completed.
(3) If a new engineering baseline emissions model for an implementation is developed under subsection 29(1), or if an existing engineering baseline emissions model for an implementation is revised other than to account for a change in the electricity emissions factor, the new or revised model must be the subject of a new declaration made under this section.
(4) This section applies to a transferring IEFE project only for reporting periods that end after the transfer date.
