Extending the Reporting Deadline Under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule for Reporting Year 2025 to March 10, 2027
What happened
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued an interim final action, signed by Donald Trump, to change the reporting deadline. The deadline for annual greenhouse gas reports for reporting year 2025 data has been extended from October 30, 2026, to March 10, 2027. This action specifically alters only this deadline and makes no other changes to the rule. The EPA is requesting comments on all aspects of this interim final rule.
Why it matters
This change gives entities required to report greenhouse gas data an additional four months and ten days to submit their 2025 reports. The extension provides more time for regulated parties to compile and submit their annual greenhouse gas emissions information, potentially easing compliance burdens for that specific reporting year.
