GHG Mandatory Reporting Rule Overview

The proposed mandatory greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting rule seeks to establish requirements for reporting emissions across various economic sectors, as mandated by recent appropriations legislation. It outlines a hybrid approach for reporting methodologies, focusing on facility-level data with specific thresholds for emissions, while also detailing verification processes and expected compliance timelines. The proposal aims for annual reporting, starting in 2011, with a focus on minimizing administrative burdens while capturing accurate emissions data.
