2060-AW76 202510 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2060 Office of Air and Radiation OAR 2000 Environmental Protection Agency EPA Reconsideration of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program

The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP, 40 CFR part 98) requires reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) data and other relevant information from certain large GHG emission sources, fuel and industrial gas suppliers, and CO2 injection sites in the U.S. A total of 47 industrial sectors are required to report under the GHGRP, including more than 8,000 facilities. On September 12, 2025, the EPA proposed a rule to remove the obligations of the GHGRP for most source categories, including the distribution segment of the petroleum and natural gas systems source category (Subpart W). The EPA also proposed to suspend reporting obligations for the remaining subpart W segments until 2034. This action will finalize the EPA's reconsideration of the GHGRP.

]]> Economically Significant Previously Published in The Unified Agenda Final Rule Stage Yes No Deregulatory 40 CFR Part 98 42 U.S.C. 7401 to 7671q. Yes

The EPA is reconsidering the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) in response to Executive Order (E.O.) 14154 Unleashing American Energy, and E.O. 14192 Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation. Reconsideration of the GHGRP was part of the Administrator's historic deregulatory effort announced on March 12, 2025.

]]>

The legal basis for this action is Clean Air Action section 114 and 136.

]]>

As discussed in the preamble to the proposed rule, EPA considered the alternative of transitioning the GHGRP from mandatory to voluntary reporting, but EPA determined that maintaining continuous or intermittent reporting under any of these source categories, including voluntary reporting, is inconsistent with CAA section 114 or appropriately could be addressed through collection from other sources.

]]>

The EPA estimated that the proposed rule would save $303 million per year from 2025 to 2033. The EPA is still evaluating the scope and associated costs and benefits associated with the forthcoming final rule.

]]>

The EPA did not identify risks in developing the proposed rule. The EPA is still evaluating any risks associated with the forthcoming final rule.
