Title: Carbon Dioxide Injection and Geologic Sequestration Reporting Rule 
Abstract: This regulation would require reporting of greenhouse gas emissions for CO2 injection, including geologic sequestration (GS) sites. In addition to tracking CO2 emissions across CO2 capture and injection, this proposal will allow EPA to collect data on efficacy of GS sites for long-term storage of CO2. The rule would not require control of greenhouse gases, rather it would require only that sources inject CO2 or sequester CO2 for the purposes of GS to monitor and report emissions. During the development of the GHG Mandatory Reporting Rule, EPA received comments that the Agency should include downstream end-users of carbon dioxide (CO2)--in particular, CO2 used for enhanced oil recovery and/or CO2 geologically sequestered. We are now proposing this supplemental rulemaking to specifically address these areas.
