Title: Corporate Parent and NAICS Code in the Greenhouse Gas Mandatory Reporting Rule Requirements 
Abstract: EPA recently finalized the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Mandatory Reporting Rule (signed September 22, 2009). This rule requires certain facilities and suppliers above specified thresholds to report GHG information to EPA annually. For facilities, this includes those that directly emit GHGs and those that geologically sequester or otherwise inject carbon dioxide underground. For suppliers, this includes those that supply certain products that would result in GHG emissions if released, combusted, or oxidized. The data collection started on January 1, 2010, and the first reports to EPA are due on September 30, 2011. As part of that first report, EPA requires through this rulemaking that reporters also include (1) the legal name, physical address, and percent ownership for all parent companies linked to the reporting facility; (2) their primary and all other applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code(s); and (3) an indication of whether or not any of their reported emissions are from a co-generation unit. In developing the final September 2009 rule, EPA received comments that this type of information would be useful to the public and EPA. Therefore, this rule requires these three data elements in the annual GHG emissions reports.
