I do not have a Login.gov account

To begin the process, go to the e-GGRT login page at https://ghgreporting.epa.gov (If you have previously used e-GGRT, you will notice that the password field has been removed from the e-GGRT LOGIN section).

The one-time migration process is complete.

You will be taken back to e-GGRT where you may login using the new Login.gov process.

Refer to the New e-GGRT Login Process page for more information on logging into e-GGRT.


Once you have connected your e-GGRT account to a Login.gov account, you cannot re-connect it to a different Login.gov account after the one-time migration.

If you delete your Login.gov account, it will render any connected e-GGRT accounts unusable - they cannot be retrieved or restored and you will need to register a new e-GGRT account, sign a new Electronic Signature and Use Agreement (ESA), and repeat the migration process from the beginning.
