Title: 2013 Revisions to the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule and Proposed Confidentiality Determinations for New or Substantially Revised Data Elements 
Abstract: The amendments in this action consist of two parts: amendments related to updating global warming potentials (GWPs) and other amendments and clarifications. The changes would improve the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program by clarifying compliance obligations and reducing confusion for reporters, improving consistency of the data collected, and ensuring that data collected through the GHGRP is representative of industry and comparable to the annual U.S. Greenhouse Gas Inventory (Inventory). The action also makes confidentiality determinations for newly proposed data elements.
