{longname} Q407. How does EPA review the data for accuracy? {longname} |
A407.
...
EPA
...
has
...
a
...
multi-step
...
data
...
verification
...
process.
...
First,
...
the
...
EPA
...
data
...
entry
...
tool
...
(e-GGRT)
...
used
...
by
...
facilities
...
conducts
...
data
...
checks
...
and
...
provides
...
feedback
...
to
...
reporters
...
during
...
the
...
data
...
entry
...
phase.
...
This
...
occurs
...
even
...
before
...
the
...
data
...
is
...
submitted
...
to
...
EPA.
...
Second,
...
once
...
the
...
data
...
has
...
been
...
submitted,
...
EPA
...
conducts
...
a
...
variety
...
of
...
automated
...
data
...
checks
...
that
...
include
...
ensuring
...
that
...
reports
...
are
...
internally
...
consistent,
...
checking
...
the
...
data
...
against
...
expected
...
ranges
...
for
...
similar
...
facilities
...
and
...
industries,
...
and
...
statistical
...
analysis.
...
Based
...
on
...
the
...
results
...
of
...
the
...
automated
...
checks
...
EPA
...
conducts
...
a
...
staff
...
review
...
of
...
the
...
reported
...
data.
...
EPA
...
then
...
follows
...
up
...
with
...
facilities
...
to
...
resolve
...
any
...
mistakes
...
that
...
may
...
have
...
occurred.
