Description: The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) invites public comment on the potential for expanded use of advanced and
emerging technologies for methane emissions quantification in EPA's Greenhouse
Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP). These technologies are an important part of
EPA's GHGRP, including under the recently finalized amendments for Petroleum
and Natural Gas Systems. EPA intends to use the feedback received in response
to this RFI to consider whether it is appropriate to undertake further
rulemaking addressing the use of advanced measurement technologies in the GHGRP
for petroleum and natural gas systems and municipal solid waste (MSW)
landfills, beyond the current role provided in existing rules for these
technologies.
Comments must be received on or before 28 October 2024.
