More Definitions of Approved Verification Body

Approved Verification Body means a firm accredited by the American National Standards Institute to conduct GHG inventory verification services for members of The Climate Registry.” The draft definition requires a verifier to be "accredited by the American National Standard Institute..." We note that the ANSI accreditation process is lengthy, cost-prohibitive (costing tens of thousands of dollars) and introduces complex legal issues (e.g., conflicts of interest) - perhaps out of proportion to the actual GHG emission reports. There is a large pool of environmental professionals with varied backgrounds that routinely perform air quality calculations, permitting, modeling, and other complex analyses who are fully qualified to verify GHG emission reports. The ANSI accreditation requirement would unnecessarily and drastically limit the pool of available personnel. We request modifying this definition to allow any third-party environmental professional to conduct verifications. A minimum requirement might be for a licensed professional engineer, registered in the state of Massachusetts (employed by a separate firm from the preparer of the GHG inventory) to sign and stamp the GHG inventory.
