55  Livestock emissions during baseline emissions period—general
 (1) If livestock are on one or more carbon estimation areas during the sequestration period of a reporting period, then emissions from livestock during the baseline emissions period must be calculated in accordance with this Subdivision for the carbon estimation areas in that reporting period.
 (2) Subject to subsection (3), historical stock rate data must be used to determine livestock emissions during the baseline emissions period (livestock baseline A).
 (3) If the historical stock rate data is unavailable, livestock emissions must be calculated using assessed carrying capacity (livestock baseline B).

Livestock baseline A
 (4) If accounting for livestock emissions using livestock baseline A, annual stocking rates, according to livestock groups gijk, over the baseline emissions period must be used to calculate the average annual emissions from livestock for the relevant carbon estimation area.
 (5) Emissions above or below one standard deviation from the average annual baseline emissions are taken to be materially different and must be accounted for in calculating net abatement.

Livestock baseline B
 (6) If accounting for livestock emissions using livestock baseline B, assessed carrying capacity must be used to calculate the average annual emissions from livestock for the relevant carbon estimation area under pasture.
 (7) A tolerance margin of 10% must be used in the calculation of livestock baseline B.
