Local authorities have a statutory duty to monitor and report on Air Quality within the area. The reporting aspect of Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) consists of Updating and Screening Assessment (USA) which is done every three years.

The Updating and Screening Assessment identifies any changes in air quality that has happened since the last review and assessment, it covers new monitoring data; new objectives; new sources and other local changes that might affect air quality.

If a sufficient risk of an exceedence of an air quality objective has been highlighted a Detailed Assessment for this location(s) is required.

During the intermediate years the local authority is required to submit an Annual Progress Report. This evaluation was introduced to maintain continuity in the LAQM process. They fill the gaps between the three-yearly requirement to undertake an Updating and Screening Assessment. If a sufficient risk of an exceedence of an air quality objective has been highlighted a Detailed Assessment for this location(s) is required and not relayed until the next round of Review and Assessment.
