EPA’s 9/16/2025 proposal would eliminate federal reporting obligations under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) for a wide range of industrial sectors and suspend most remaining requirements until 2034.

The proposed rule would permanently remove reporting obligations for 46 source categories after reporting year 2024 — including stationary fuel combustion, electricity generation, aluminum and cement production, petroleum refining, pulp and paper manufacturing, municipal solid waste landfills, wastewater treatment, and industrial GHGs. It would also eliminate requirements for suppliers of carbon dioxide, geologic sequestration, and carbon injection activities.

For the petroleum and natural gas industry, EPA proposes to defer reporting for nine oil and natural gas segments until 2034 — including onshore and offshore production, natural gas processing, transmission compression, pipelines, underground storage, and liquefied natural gas storage, import, and export facilities.
