Q9. Are mobile sources included in this rule?
Note: The Cal e-GGRT help system includes general instruction on using the California GHG reporting tool. However, the help system may not explain differences between California and U.S. EPA reporting requirements. Please refer to the ARB reporting website for California-specific reporting requirements and additional help.

Yes, EPA will collect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions rate information from the manufacturers of new vehicles and engines outside of the light-duty sector, including heavy trucks, motorcycles, and non-road engines and equipment. We incorporated these requirements into the long-standing criteria emissions testing and reporting requirements under Title II of the CAA (Clean Air Act), and built from existing testing methods. Mobile source emissions will also be accounted for through upstream reporting by suppliers of petroleum products and coal-based liquid fuels. We are not requiring facilities to report emissions from mobile sources at their operations such as fleets.

Requirements related to light-duty vehicles (including light-duty trucks and medium-duty passenger vehicles) are not included in this rulemaking. EPA has proposed a comprehensive light-duty GHG emission control program commencing in model year (MY) 2012 which includes GHG measurement and reporting.
