<p>This page provides a listing of Federal Register notices and links to more information for rule changes and proposed rule changes that affect the reporting requirements for <strong>Reporting Year 2015 and beyond</strong>.</p>

<p>For a list of all Federal Register notices for the GHGRP, visit the <a href="/ghgreporting/historical-rulemakings">Historical Rulemakings page</a>. During the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule (Part 98) proposal phase, EPA also developed a number of supporting materials, including technical support documents and responses to comments received on the proposal, which you can find in the <a href="/ghgreporting/history-proposed-rules">Proposed Rule Archive</a>.</p>
