Key points
- EPA extended the GHGRP reporting deadline for RY2025 from March 31 to October 30, 2026 (this corrects that rule)
- This document is a correction of a typo and makes no substantive change to the rule
- GHGRP = the U.S. program requiring facilities/suppliers above thresholds to report GHG emissions yearly
- The underlying deadline extension has practical meaning for entities with reporting obligations
- An example of how the U.S. operates its climate/emissions reporting system
- The document corrects a typographical error in the preamble; the 2025 deadline still moved from 31 March to 30 October.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) corrected the preamble of a final rule published in the Federal Register on February 27, 2026 (a rule, June 5, 2026).
1The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program
That final rule extended the reporting deadline under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP, commonly the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule) for reporting year 2025 from March 31, 2026 to October 30, 2026. The GHGRP requires facilities and suppliers above certain thresholds to report their greenhouse-gas emissions to the EPA each year, and is one of the foundations of U.S. climate and emissions data.
2The typographical correction
This document corrects an inadvertent typographical error in the Federal Register and does not result in any substantive changes to the rule.
3The deadline extension behind it
While this document itself is a formal correction, the underlying fact — that the GHGRP reporting deadline for 2025 was extended from the end of March to the end of October — has practical meaning for entities with reporting obligations. It is an example of how the U.S. operates its climate/emissions reporting system.
4What changes, and what does not
The document itself is a formal correction, while the change in deadline behind it carries practical meaning. Separating the numbers helps.
The GHGRP requires emitting facilities and suppliers above a certain size to report greenhouse gas emissions to EPA annually, and is one foundation of US climate and emissions data. Substantive regulatory content and deadline detail should be confirmed against the source and EPA's official information.
