The United States (U.S.) Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is adding Subpart W to the recently
promulgated Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Program
established under 40 CFR 98. Subpart W applies to the calculation
and reporting of vented, fugitive, flare combustion emissions, and
stationary and portable equipment combustion emissions from
selected equipment at the following facilities that emit equal to
or greater than 25,000 metric tons (mt) of CO2-equivalent (CO2e)
per year from source categories covered by the mandatory GHG
reporting rule: offshore petroleum and natural gas production
entities , onshore petroleum and natural gas production facilities
(including enhanced oil recovery (EOR)), onshore natural gas
processing facilities, onshore natural gas transmission compression
facilities, onshore natural gas storage facilities, liquefied
natural gas (LNG) storage facilities, LNG import and export
facilities and natural gas distribution facilities owned or
operated by local distribution companies (LDCs). This ICR
supplements the ICR for ICR for the Mandatory Reporting of
Greenhouse Gases; Final Rule (EPA ICR No. 2300.03). EPA will merge
these ICRs when they are renewed in the future.
