## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Climate, ESG & Sustainability Reporting](https://ailawframework.com/practice/climate-esg-and-sustainability-reporting.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Line up each emissions figure in the climate papers with the figure in a Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program report in the file, and note a difference. Do not decide that a facility must report. |
| What the lawyer must review | The EPA page says the program requires greenhouse-gas data from large emission sources, fuel and industrial gas suppliers, and carbon-dioxide injection sites in the United States, that about 8,000 facilities report annually, and that reported data are made public in October. The same page says an interim final rule extends the reporting-year 2025 deadline to 10 March 2027, and that a proposed reconsideration of the program has been signed. No tonnage threshold was on the page opened, so none is stated. This is not an Australian emissions inventory. The lawyer decides whether the program applies. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Line up each emissions figure in the climate papers with the figure in a Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program report in the file, and note a difference. Do not decide that a facility must report.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not treat the program as ended because a reconsideration has been proposed.
- Use 10 March 2027 only for reporting year 2025, as the page states that extension.
