Title: Carbon Dioxide Injection and Geologic Sequestration Reporting Rule 
Abstract: This rule would require facilities that conduct geologic sequestration or that inject CO2 underground to report GHG data to EPA annually. This regulation would provide nationally consistent public information quantifying the amount of CO2 geologically sequestered in the United States. In combination with subpart PP of the GHG Reporting Program (suppliers of CO2), this regulation would enable EPA to better understand the quantity of CO2 supplied to emissive and potentially non-emissive end-uses and to track the flow of CO2 across the CO2 capture and storage (CCS) system. Finally, this regulation would enable EPA and others to track growth and efficacy of geologic sequestration (and therefore CCS) as a mitigation technology over time and to evaluate relevant policy options. This rule would not require control of greenhouse gases, rather it would require only that sources injecting or sequestering CO2 monitor and report emissions. EPA has designed this rule so that facilities can comply with the reporting requirements without disrupting or delaying normal operations.
