If you are an eligible New Zealand operator and you fail to submit an emissions report to the Secretary on time, the Secretary can step in. The Secretary can estimate your emissions for the reporting period using the information they have and following the rules set out in the regulations. You can find out more about when emissions reports are due by looking at section 208.
