Q16. Did EPA engage stakeholders in the development of the 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 staff held more than 150 meetings with over 4,000 stakeholders attending, including trade associations, industries, state and regional governments, environmental groups, and tribal associations during the public comment period and finalization of the rule. In addition, two public hearings on the Proposed Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule were held in April 2009. EPA also received approximately 16,800 written comments during the rule’s public comment period.
