Title: ●Reconsideration of Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule: Revisions and Confidentiality Determinations for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems (Subpart W) 
Abstract:

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 added section 136 "Methane Emissions and Waste Reduction Incentive Program" to Title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA). Consistent with the authority and directive set forth in CAA section 136(h), the EPA finalized a rule in May 2024 that amended requirements that apply to the petroleum and natural gas systems source category (Subpart W) of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule. In response to petitions received from the May 2024 subpart W final rule, this action will focus on addressing a number of issues raised in the petitions.
