EPA study on Scope 3 emissions
If enacted, the bill would require the EPA Administrator to study and publish guidance on calculating and reporting Scope 3 emissions for covered "direct emitters." The bill would define key terms for that work on enactment, including who counts as a direct emitter, which greenhouse gases are covered, and what "Scope 3" means. EPA would have not more than 1 year after enactment to finish the study and guidance. The guidance would recommend reporting thresholds, give calculation methods by source category, advise monitoring frequency, set quality-assurance checks, explain how to estimate missing data, and describe recordkeeping and reporting practices. This section would not itself make Scope 3 reporting mandatory.
