Unofficial Electronic Compilation

ARB’s Regulation for the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (title 17, California Code of Regulations (CCR), sections 95100-95157) incorporated by reference certain requirements promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) in its Final Rule on Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases (Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 98).  Specifically, section 95100(c) of ARB’s regulation incorporated those requirements promulgated by U.S. EPA as published in the Federal Register on October 30, 2009, July 12, 2010, September 22, 2010, October 28, 2010, November 30, 2010, December 17, 2010, and April 25, 2011.

The unofficial electronic compilation of selections from the U.S. EPA GHG regulation included below is provided by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) staff solely for the reader’s convenience.  The official legal versions of the incorporated CFR provisions from the Federal Register are available, with the incorporated Federal Register notice and date, at http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/subpart.html.

For each subpart, this unofficial compilation combines the various incorporated Federal Register versions into one document for the reader’s convenience; however, this compilation is not an official edition of either the CFR or the CCR.  While reasonable steps have been taken to make this unofficial compilation accurate, the officially published requirements, found within the incorporated Federal Register notices with the dates listed above, take precedence if there are any discrepancies.
