The basic characteristics of the covariant chiral current andthecovariantchiralenergyβmomentumtensor are obtained from a
chiral effective action. These results are used to justify the covariant
boundary condition used in recent approaches
\cite{Isowilczek,Isoumtwilczek,shailesh,shailesh2,Banerjee} of computing the
Hawking flux from chiral gauge and gravitational anomalies. We also discuss a
connection of our results with the conventional calculation of nonchiral
currents and stress tensors in different (Unruh, Hartle-Hawking and Boulware)
states.Comment: 18 pages, no figures, minor changes, to appear in Phys. Rev.
