EPA Issues Extension to Greenhouse Gas Reporting Deadline

admin — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 20:37:11 +0000

The Federal GHG reporting extension has been set by the EPA at September 30th, 2011 for emissions reporting and August 1st, 2011 for e-GGRT Registration. One major reason for the extension is to allow reporting entities to test the tool and provide feedback. The testing period was initiated to identify any issues with the reporting tool prior to the deadline, which would allow facility representatives to work with the EPA helpdesk and make sure the tool is working properly. The testing period is now over and the registration period is almost over. However, the emissions module has yet to be made available and facilities are not yet able to report emissions.

EPA Delays 40 CFR Parts 60 and 63 (Boiler MACT)

admin — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 20:36:29 +0000

In March of this year, the EPA finalized the MACT DDDDD Boiler rule, which was intended to go into effect on May 20^th 2011 and would have affected a number of industries across the country that operate stationary combustion sources. Two days prior to the effective date, May 18^th, 2011, the EPA issued a delay to 40 CFR Parts 60 and 63 (Boiler MACT) emission standards and reporting requirements. The delay of the rule’s effective date is based on the volume of public comments received and what EPA describes “as the need for modification”. This delay impacts facilities preparing for the Initial Notification deadline in September 2011, which is now delayed indefinitely.
