EPA Delays 2025 Greenhouse Gas Reporting Deadline
Official: Extending the Reporting Deadline Under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule for 2025; Correcting Amendments
Reading: Extending a reporting deadline does not change the underlying requirement to report emissions or reduce them; it only delays compliance timing for an existing rule.
The change applies to all facilities that must track and report their climate pollution to the federal government.
In clear language
The EPA is pushing back the deadline for companies to report their 2025 greenhouse gas emissions under federal law. This gives businesses extra time to file their required emissions reports.
