{longname} Q56. How is this reporting rule different from the Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks report (Inventory)?
{longname}

A56.

...

The

...

Inventory

...

is

...

a

...

comprehensive

...

top-down

...

national

...

assessment

...

of

...

national

...

greenhouse

...

gas

...

(GHG)

...

emissions,

...

and

...

uses

...

national

...

energy

...

data

...

and

...

other

...

national

...

statistics.

...

The

...

use

...

of

...

the

...

aggregated

...

national

...

data

...

means

...

that

...

the

...

national

...

emissions

...

estimates

...

are

...

not

...

broken

...

down

...

at

...

the

...

geographic

...

or

...

facility

...

level.

...

In

...

contrast,

...

this

...

reporting

...

rule

...

focuses

...

on

...

bottom-up

...

data

...

and

...

individual

...

sources

...

above

...

appropriate

...

thresholds.

...

While

...

the

...

rule

...

will

...

provide

...

more

...

specific

...

data,

...

it

...

will

...

not

...

provide

...

full

...

coverage

...

of

...

total

...

annual

...

U.S.

...

GHG

...

emissions,

...

as

...

is

...

required

...

in

...

the

...

development

...

of

...

the

...

Inventory

...

of

...

U.S.

...

Greenhouse

...

Gas

...

Emissions

...

and

...

Sinks

...

in

...

reporting

...

to

...

the

...

United

...

Nations

...

Framework

...

Convention

...

on

...

Climate

...

Change

...

(UNFCCC).

...

The

...

Inventory

...

is

...

developed

...

by

...

EPA

...

annually,

...

in

...

consultation

...

with

...

other

...

U.S.

...

agencies,

...

as

...

a

...

required

...

under

...

the

...

UNFCCC.
