{longname} Q439. How does this final rule relate to EPA's Natural Gas STAR program? {longname} |
A439.
...
Since
...
1993,
...
through
...
the
...
Natural
...
Gas
...
STAR
...
Program,
...
the
...
U.S.
...
EPA
...
has
...
been
...
partnering
...
with
...
petroleum
...
and
...
natural
...
gas
...
companies
...
to
...
advance
...
the
...
adoption
...
of
...
cost-effective
...
technologies
...
and
...
practices
...
that
...
improve
...
operational
...
efficiency
...
and
...
reduce
...
emissions
...
of
...
methane,
...
a
...
potent
...
GHG
...
and
...
clean
...
energy
...
source.
...
The
...
GHG
...
reporting
...
rule
...
for
...
petroleum
...
and
...
natural
...
gas
...
systems
...
will
...
complement
...
industry
...
efforts
...
to
...
reduce
...
methane
...
emissions
...
through
...
the
...
Natural
...
Gas
...
STAR
...
Program.
...
The
...
data
...
submitted
...
under
...
the
...
GHG
...
reporting
...
rule
...
will
...
provide
...
important
...
information
...
on
...
the
...
location
...
and
...
magnitude
...
of
...
GHG
...
emissions
...
from
...
petroleum
...
and
...
natural
...
gas
...
systems
...
which
...
will
...
allow
...
petroleum
...
and
...
natural
...
gas
...
facilities
...
to
...
better
...
track
...
their
...
own
...
emissions.
...
While
...
this
...
is
...
not
...
an
...
emission
...
reduction
...
rule,
...
the
...
information
...
collected
...
under
...
this
...
reporting
...
rule
...
could
...
be
...
used
...
to
...
aid
...
companies
...
in
...
further
...
identifying
...
cost
...
effective
...
opportunities
...
to
...
reduce
...
emissions
...
in
...
the
...
future.
