The 2023 Annual Emissions Reporting (AER) season is underway for facilities subject to reporting 2022 emissions. State emission reporting requirements for 2022 emissions will require many facilities to report into the AER program for the first time. Facilities are required to report emissions for both permitted and unpermitted equipment and pay applicable emission fees under South Coast AQMD’s Rule 301. Several thousand facilities are required to report emissions for the first time this year under CARB’s Criteria and Toxics Reporting regulation. More information can be found at www.aqmd.gov/aer, including a list of subject facilities.

The deadline to submit 2022 annual emissions reports and fees is May 1, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. For questions and support regarding the AER program and how to access the online reporting tool, please email the AER staff or call (909) 396-3660.
