2                                                                     Each of the following:                         The project proponent must make a conservative estimate of the parameter having regard to:
                                                                      (a) FRq (see section 45);                      (a) any relevant measurement or estimation approaches or requirements that apply to the parameter under the NGER (Measurement) Determination; and
                                                                      (b) QBG,h (see subsection 44(2));              (b) any relevant historical data for the project; and
                                                                      (c) QCompost,f (see subsection 42(6));         (c) any other data for the project that relates to the parameter; and
                                                                      (d) QEG,h (see subsection 44(3));              (d) any other matter the project proponent considers relevant
                                                                      (e) QEP,f (see subsection 40(1));
                                                                      (f) QF,i,f (see section 39);
                                                                      (g) tq (see section 45)

 (2) If, during the non‑monitored period, the project proponent fails, for one or more of the project's source separation activities or sub‑activities, to monitor parameter WEO,w or WEO,w,sa as required by the monitoring requirements, the value of the parameter for the purpose of working out the activity abatement portions for the reporting period is to be determined for the activity or sub‑activity by making a conservative estimate of the parameter having regard to:
 (a) any relevant measurement or estimation approaches or requirements that apply to the parameter under the NGER (Measurement) Determination; and
 (b) any relevant historical data for the project; and
 (c) any other data for the project that relates to the parameter; and
 (d) any other matter the project proponent considers relevant.
 (3) If, during the non‑monitored period, the project proponent fails, for a nominated waste treatment facility or unit for a source separation activity or sub‑activity, to monitor parameter DMCompost,j,f as required by the monitoring requirements, the emissions (ECompost,f) from enclosed composting technology used during the non‑monitored period, in tonnes CO2‑e, are worked out for the facility or unit as follows:
 (a) for any cumulative period of up to 3 months in any 12 months of a crediting period for the project—using sub‑method 1 in subsection 42(6), but multiplying the parameter EFCompost,j by 1.1;
 (b) for any period in excess of that 3 months—using sub‑method 1 in subsection 42(6), but multiplying the parameter EFCompost,j by 1.5.
 (4) To avoid doubt, this section does not prevent the Regulator from taking action under the Act, or regulations or rules made under the Act, in relation to the project proponent's failure to monitor a parameter as required by the monitoring requirements.
Note: Examples of action that may be taken include the following:
(a) if the failure constitutes a breach of a civil penalty provision in section 194 of the Act (which deals with project monitoring requirements), the Regulator may apply for a civil penalty order in respect of the breach;
(b) if false or misleading information was given to the Regulator in relation to the
