Overview

• The draft rule would rescind most requirements of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, ending reporting by large facilities, fuel and industrial gas suppliers, and CO2 injection sites, with limited methane reporting for certain oil and gas operations deferred until 2034.
• EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin called the program bureaucratic red tape with no material health or environmental benefit and projected up to $2.4 billion in business cost savings over a decade.
• Since 2010 the program has collected annual data from more than 8,000 sites across 47 source categories, informing U.S. emissions inventories, UN reporting, state programs, investor disclosures, and research on climate policy and public health.
• Environmental and health advocates, including former EPA officials and the American Lung Association, warned the rollback would strip public accountability and make it harder to track and cut climate pollution.
• After publication in the Federal Register, EPA plans a 47‑day comment period and an online hearing 15 days after publication, and the agency has indicated no industries would be required to submit 2025 data if the repeal is finalized.
