That *is* the direction...
your permitting folks just want to have numbers expressed in a way that 
is familiar to them, and your engineer can put them in a way that makes 
sense.

It's not that hard, but it does require some specialized knowledge, and 
to know when you're doing what the manufacturer intended, and when 
you're straying into an unknown area.  It's the latter that takes time 
and effort, because it becomes less cookbook.
