In
...
response
...
to
...
the
...
FY2008
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
,
...
EPA
...
launched
...
the
...
Greenhouse
...
Gas
...
Reporting
...
Program
...
(GHGRP).
...
The
...
program
...
requires
...
annual
...
reporting
...
of
...
greenhouse
...
gas
...
(GHG)
...
data
...
and
...
other
...
relevant
...
information
...
from
...
large
...
direct
...
emissions
...
sources
...
and
...
suppliers
...
of
...
certain
...
fossil
...
fuels
...
and
...
industrial
...
gases
...
in
...
the
...
United
...
States.
...
The
...
purpose
...
of
...
the
...
GHGRP
...
is
...
to
...
provide
...
accurate
...
and
...
timely
...
GHG
...
data
...
to
...
inform
...
the
...
public,
...
policy
...
makers
...
and
...
other
...
interested
...
parties.
...
The
...
data
...
will
...
help
...
the
...
public
...
better
...
understand
...
emissions
...
from
...
specific
...
industries,
...
emissions
...
from
...
individual
...
facilities,
...
factors
...
that
...
influence
...
greenhouse
...
gas
...
emission
...
rates,
...
and
...
actions
...
that
...
facilities
...
could
...
take
...
to
...
reduce
...
emissions.
...
In
...
general,
...
facilities
...
that
...
directly
...
emit
...
25,000
...
metric
...
tons
...
of
...
carbon
...
dioxide
...
equivalent
...
or
...
more
...
per
...
year
...
are
...
required
...
to
...
submit
...
annual
...
reports
...
to
...
EPA.
...
In
...
addition,
...
suppliers
...
of
...
certain
...
products
...
that
...
would
...
result
...
in
...
GHG
...
emissions
...
if
...
released,
...
combusted
...
or
...
oxidized
...
are
...
required
...
to
...
report.
...
Data
...
reporting
...
began
...
in
...
2011
...
(for
...
calendar
...
year
...
2010)
...
for
...
most
...
reporting
...
entities.
...
An
...
additional
...
12
...
GHG
...
source
...
categories
...
began
...
reporting
...
to
...
EPA
...
for
...
the
...
first
...
time
...
in
...
2012
...
(for
...
calendar
...
year
...
2011).
...
Thereafter,
...
this
...
program
...
requires
...
that
...
these
...
sources
...
monitor
...
and
...
report
...
GHG
...
information
...
to
...
EPA
...
annually.
...
The
...
GHGRP
...
does
...
not
...
require
...
control
...
of
...
greenhouse
...
gases.
