H.R. 7684, the SCOPE Act of 2026, directs the Environmental Protection Agency to study how companies should calculate and report “scope 3” greenhouse gas emissions, which are indirect emissions tied to a company’s upstream and downstream activities. Within one year of enactment, EPA must publish guidance aimed at direct emitters, including recommended reporting thresholds and methods tied to different source categories. The guidance is also required to cover how often companies should monitor scope 3 emissions, quality assurance and controls, how to estimate missing data, and recordkeeping steps for reporting. The bill does not create new restrictions on existing authorities of the President, federal agencies, or states.
