Trump EPA Announces Reconsideration of Burdensome Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program

Excerpt:  “U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the agency is reconsidering the mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP). Unlike every other mandatory information collection by EPA under the Clean Air Act, the GHGRP is not directly related to a potential regulation nor developed with that intention. The program requires over 8,000 facilities and suppliers in the United States to calculate and submit their emissions reporting annually. It costs hundreds of millions of dollars that could be better used to improve and upgrade environmental controls or other items at these facilities to have a noticeable impact on the improvement of the environment.”
