On 2 April 2015, the Minister of Environmental Affairs published National Atmospheric Emission Reporting Regulations in terms of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act 39 of 2004 (the Reporting Regulations). The Reporting Regulations require, amongst other things, that certain categories of persons (classified as data providers) register on the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory System (NAEIS) within 30 days of the Reporting Regulations coming into effect, i.e. by 2 May 2015.
