EPA Fixes a Typo in the Rule Extending When Businesses Must Report Their Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Official: Extending the Reporting Deadline Under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule for 2025; Correction
Reading: The correction extends the same reporting deadline established in the February 2026 rule with no change to the substantive requirement or stringency of greenhouse gas monitoring.
Businesses that emit greenhouse gases still have until October 30, 2026 to submit their annual emissions reports.
In clear language
The EPA published a correction to a rule it issued in February 2026 that moved back the deadline for certain businesses to report their greenhouse gas emissions from March 31, 2026 to October 30, 2026. The correction fixes only a typing mistake in the official document and does not change any of the actual requirements or deadlines. Businesses that emit greenhouse gases still have until October 30, 2026 to submit their annual emissions reports.
