The reporting entity subject to verification must obtain the services of an accredited verification body for purposes of verifying each emissions data report submitted under this article, as specified in section 95103(f).
The six-year period begins on the date the reporting entity or its agent first contracts for any third-party verifications, validations, or audits under any protocols, including ARB verification services, for the scope of activities or operations under the ARB identification number for the emissions data report, and ends on the date the final verification statement is submitted. Verification bodies may not provide verification services if the six year period ends prior to sixty days after the emissions data report is certified by the reporting entity, unless a verification plan is agreed to by the reporting entity, the verification body, and the Executive Officer. If the six-year time limit is exceeded, the reporting entity must engage a different verification body and meet the verification deadline. Even if these services are provided before the verification body or verifiers have received ARB accreditation, the six year period still begins when these services are contracted for, if accreditation is later received.
The six-year limit also applies to verification bodies and verifiers providing ARB or any other third-party verifications, validations, or audits that include the scope of activities or operations under the ARB identification number for the emissions data report and does not reset upon a change in reporting entity ownership or operational control.
