The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) extended on March 20th the reporting deadline under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule for 2024 data. See 90 Fed. Reg. 13085.
EPA extended the reporting deadline for the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule for Reporting Year 2024 data from March 31, 2025, to May 30, 2025.
The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program requires reporting of greenhouse gas data and other relevant information from large greenhouse gas emissions sources, fuel and industrial gas suppliers, and CO2 ejection sites in the United States. Approximately 8,000 facilities are estimated to be required to report their emissions annually.
The Environmental Defense Fund (“EDF”) has filed on March 21st a judicial challenge to EPA’s extension of the Rule. A Petition for Review was filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In a news release noting the Petition for Review, EDF states in part:
…Earlier this year, under Administrator Lee Zeldin, EPA shut down the program’s reporting portal for over a month without explanation. EPA then unlawfully extended the reporting deadline without taking any public comment. Today EDF filed a lawsuit challenging EPA’s action in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
