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.

Q131. Some entities may choose to report all greenhouse emissions for ease of data management, even if some sources do not meet the definition of "facility" and exceed the threshold. If cap and trade rules on greenhouse gas emissions are promulgated in the future and GHG Reporting Rule data is used to establish a cap and trade system, could you speculate whether entities would be able to restate their emissions?

Your emissions report should be an accurate reflection of facility-wide emissions and should include emissions estimates following the methods outlined in the rule. We cannot speculate of the provisions of any future GHG regulatory program.
