Critical Validation Checks for Subpart BB

Created by Sokha Chea on Feb 13, 2020

Certain validation checks which are considered critical errors must be corrected before you can successfully generate your submission package or upload your XML-based submission. These checks are presented to the reporter when they attempt to generate or regenerate their submission or after they attempt to upload an XML-based submission. These checks are signified with a stop sign in your validation report. The table below provides a list of critical errors. Additional technical information that may assist XML uploaders is also available at XML Upload Critical Errors. If you feel that you have triggered one of these checks in error, or if there’s a reason why your report should be submitted despite the check being triggered, you may submit a request to the e-GGRT Help Desk at GHGReporting@epa.gov.
