Subpart Validation Report
Note: The Cal e-GGRT help system includes general instruction on using the California GHG reporting tool. However, the help system may not explain differences between California and U.S. EPA reporting requirements. Please refer to the ARB reporting website for California-specific reporting requirements and additional help.

You can use the Validation Report to ensure the completeness and quality of your reporting data.

You should use the Validation Report to check your work. The Validation Report performs two types of checks:

  • Data Completeness: Data that are required for reporting is missing or incomplete.
  • Data Quality: Data are outside of the expected range of values.

You may view the Validation Report at any time.

Note that the Validation Report is intended to assist users in entering data, but it is not an indication that the reporter has entered all necessary information, nor is it an indication that the reporter is in compliance with 40 CFR Part 98. Furthermore a negative finding on the validation report is not a guarantee that a data element was entered incorrectly.

The validation notification tile, located near the top-right of the Subpart Overview page for each subpart, indicates whether validation errors are detected by Cal e-GGRT for the active subpart.
