Section 1605(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 directed the Department of Energy (DOE) to issue guidelines establishing a voluntary greenhouse gas reporting program.

DOE issued interim final General Guidelines on March 24, 2005, and also on that date published a notice of availability inviting public comment on draft Technical Guidelines needed to fully implement the revised Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Program. This notice of final rulemaking responds to public comments on the interim final General Guidelines and draft Technical Guidelines; sets forth the final General Guidelines; and announces the availability of the final Technical Guidelines.
