32  Information that must be included in an offsets report
 (1) An offsets report for a reporting period must, for each IE unit included in a calculation undertaken in accordance with Part 4 for the reporting period, state the following:
 (a) the location of the IE unit, and any other details required in a form approved by the Regulator;
 (b) either:
 (i) the following information:
 (A) descriptions of the original unit, the upgrade and the upgraded unit;
 (B) the date the upgraded unit was commissioned;
 (C) if the IE unit is not a single sub-unit—a description of each sub-unit and how it was affected by the upgrade; and
 (D) the outputs of each sub-unit;
 (E) the output indicator for each sub-unit;
 (F) the dates of the baseline period;
 (G) the dates of the project measurement period;
 (H) if there are any excisable intervals in the baseline period or project measurement period—the time of those intervals and why they were excisable intervals;
 (I) the baseline emissions rate and project emissions rate for each sub-unit (ERB,i and ERP,i);
 (J) the date of the pre-upgrade declaration and post-upgrade declaration for the unit and the name of the MVP who made those declarations; or
 (ii) if the information was provided in an earlier offsets report—a reference to that report;
 (c) whether the IE unit:
 (i) was included in the most recent previous offsets report; or
 (ii) is an old IE unit that was excluded from the most recent previous report; or
 (iii) is a new IE unit that has not been included in a previous report; and
 (d) if biomass was used during the reporting period:
 (i) as an energy source in implementation equipment; or
 (ii) to produce heat, steam or cooling that was used in the IE unit;
  —a declaration that the biomass used in the reporting period complied with the definition of RET energy source; and
 (e) if information specified by subparagraph 15(a)(vi) was not included in the application under 22 of the Act in relation to the project for the IE unit or a previous offsets report—that information.
 (2) For an IE unit that was included in calculations for an earlier reporting period, but is not included in calculations for the reporting period to which the offsets report relates, the report must state the reason for the exclusion.
 (3) If, in the circumstances described in paragraph 6(2)(b), a factor or parameter is defined or calculated for a reporting period by reference to an instrument or writing as in force from time to time, the offsets report about the project for the reporting period must describe the reasons why it was not possible to define or calculate the factor or parameter by
