Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule Published

I'm more than a little late in reporting this, but EPA has proposed its greenhouse gas reporting rule. On October 30, 2009, EPA’s final mandatory greenhouse gas reporting rule was published in the Federal Register requiring reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from all sectors of the economy. The final rule applies to fossil fuel suppliers and industrial gas suppliers,
direct greenhouse gas emitters and manufacturers of heavy-duty and off- road vehicles and engines. The rule does not require control of greenhouse gases, rather it requires that sources above certain threshold levels monitor and report emissions. Attached is a good summary from Bingham McCutchen.

The final rule is effective on December 29, 2009.
