If reporting facilities estimate their emissions using any of the EETs provided in the manuals, their data will be displayed on the NPI database as being of 'acceptable reliability'. Similarly, if the relevant environmental authority has approved the use of the EETs that are not outlined in the manuals, the data will also be displayed as being of 'acceptable reliability'. It should be emphasised that the emissions data derived using any EET will have a degree of uncertainty associated with it.
