EPA has launched an updated Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program website. The new “landing” page to make it easier for users to find greenhouse gas data, access summary information, and identify new information released by the program.
The new landing page can be found at: http://www.epa.gov/ghgreporting
The new landing page also links to a newly formatted page geared specifically for facilities and suppliers that report under the program. This page provides easy access to all the critical resources including e-GGRT, rulemaking notices, resources by subpart, training and testing opportunities, information on the treatment of sensitive business data, and the help desk. We also added some new features such as important dates/deadlines and a link to the electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR), which is the most current copy of the entire 40 CFR Part 98. Links from the GHGRP Help Site at www.ccdsupport.com and from e-GGRT to content on the EPA site are being updated to reflect the changes.
The log-in page for e-GGRT has not changed.
Users should update their bookmarked pages to reflect the new web page addresses (URLs) that are important to them. They will be re-directed to the new pages in the short-term but a permanent fix is to bookmark the new page.
On August 20, 2012, EPA opened the electronic Greenhouse Gas Reporting Tool (e-GGRT) to accept 2011 data for the new 2011 source categories (i.e. subparts I-Electronics Manufacturing, L-Fluorinated Gas Production, T-Magnesium Production, W-Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems, DD-Use of Electric Transmission and Distribution Equipment , FF-Underground Coal Mines, II-Industrial Wastewater Treatment, QQ-Imports and Exports of Equipment Pre-charged with Fluorinated GHGs or Containing Fluorinated GHGs in Closed-cell Foams, RR- Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide, SS-Manufacture of Electric Transmission and Distribution Equipment, TT-Industrial Waste Landfills, and UU-Injection of Carbon Dioxide) reporting under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. Registered reporters can prepare and submit annual GHG reports at ghgreporting.epa.gov. The deadline to submit 2011 reports for new reporting year 2011 source categories is September 28th, 2012. For this group of reporters, September 28, 2012 is also the deadline for reporting any remaining 2011 data under all subparts.
To access the e-GGRT system go to https://ghgreporting.epa.gov.

EPA is making a number of reporting tools (e.g., reporting forms and calculation spreadsheets) available to the public so that facilities and suppliers can begin preparing reporting year 2011 (RY2011) reports, due on September 28, 2012. Reporting forms are MS Excel-based forms which capture specific data required under CFR 40 Part 98 and which user upload as part of their reporting. Similarly, Calculation Spreadsheets are optional MS Excel based tools which help implement the GHG calculation methodologies.
Please note that e-GGRT will undergo a short maintenance period, beginning on August 15, 2012, to prepare for the September 28, 2012 reporting deadline. During this period, e-GGRT will not accept submissions. EPA intends to resume accepting submissions during the week of August 20, 2012.
Reporting instructions and reporting forms may be downloaded at: Reporting Form Instructions
Calculation Spreadsheets may be downloaded at: Optional Calculation Spreadsheet Instructions
