The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin said the agency is reconsidering the mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP).

Unlike every other mandatory information collection by EPA under the Clean Air Act, the GHGRP is not directly related to a potential regulation nor developed with that intention. The program requires more than 8,000 facilities and suppliers in the United States to calculate and submit their emissions reporting annually. It costs hundreds of millions of dollars that could be better used to improve and upgrade environmental controls or other items at these facilities to have a noticeable impact on the improvement of the environment.

“The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program is another example of a bureaucratic government program that does not improve air quality. Instead, it costs American businesses and manufacturing millions of dollars, hurting small businesses and the ability to achieve the American Dream,” said EPA Administrator Zeldin.

This action is in conjunction with a number of historic actions to advance President Trump’s day one executive orders and power the great American comeback. Combined, these actions represent the greatest and most consequential day of deregulation in the history of the United States.

While accomplishing EPA’s core mission of protecting the environment, the agency is committed to fulfilling President Trump’s promise to unleash American energy, lower costs for Americans, revitalize the American auto industry, restore the rule of law, and give power back to states to make their own decisions.
