On March 10, 2009 the United
States EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) announced a proposal for the first
nation-wide system for reporting greenhouse gases.
"The new reporting requirements
would apply to suppliers of fossil fuel and industrial chemicals, manufacturers
of motor vehicles and engines, as well as large direct emitters of greenhouse
gases with emissions greater than a threshold of 25,000 metric tons per year." March
10, 2009 EPA News Release.
Organizations effected by the new
regulations would be required to submit their first annual report to the EPA in
2011, with the exception of automobile and engine manufacturers who would
submit their first report for model year 2011.

to track and report greenhouse gases submit a request for more information
