"EPA Delays Greenhouse Gas Reporting Requirement" [1]
"The postponement comes as the Trump administration seeks to torpedo the rule that forces more than 8,000 polluters to report emissions."
"EPA on Friday gave major greenhouse gas emitters a reprieve from annual emissions reporting requirements until October — when, the agency said, it would have finalized its proposal to end the requirement.
About 8,200 large emitters of climate pollution currently are required to report their emissions each year — data that EPA used to compile the world’s most complete greenhouse gas emissions inventory. The deadline for reporting the previous year’s emissions is March 31, but EPA’s final action Friday extends that deadline to Oct. 30.
In September 2025, EPA put forward a plan to eliminate the decades-old reporting requirement for 46 of 47 source categories. The exception is the petroleum sector, which is treated separately because Congress mandated reporting for it in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the Biden administration’s big climate law. But that reporting was put on hold until 2034 under President Donald Trump’s megalaw of last year."
