Title: Revisions to Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements, and Proposed Confidentiality Determinations Under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program 
Abstract: This action concerns Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program data reporting elements used as inputs to emission equations (for direct emitters) for which the reporting deadline was deferred until 2015. Based on stakeholder concerns regarding the potential release of these data, the EPA deferred reporting of these data elements (see August 25, 2011 final action, 76 FR 53057) to allow the EPA to complete its evaluation of the potential impact on facilities from the public release of these data elements (see 76 FR 53060) and, if appropriate, to propose amendments to the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. Based on the evaluation conducted, this action proposes amendments to the reporting, recordkeeping, and verification requirements of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program.
