Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, a federal system established by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2009 that tracks greenhouse gas emissions from over 8,000 industrial facilities across the country. The program currently captures about 85 to 90 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and requires large polluters to publicly report their emissions data, which is used by government agencies, businesses, researchers, and communities to understand pollution sources and hold facilities accountable. The resolution emphasizes that the program is particularly important for low-income and minority communities, which experience disproportionate exposure to industrial pollution and related health problems like asthma and cancer. The resolution also notes that ten states have incorporated the federal program's framework into their own environmental regulations, and warns that rolling back the program would harm state climate change efforts and undermine transparency. The measure calls on Congress to recognize the program's scientific and public health value and affirm its positive impact on business, government, and communities nationwide.
