Industry Pushes For Key Confidentiality Provisions In EPA GHG Registry

摘要

Industry is reviving concerns that EPA's greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting rule requires companies to submit data that could reveal valuable manufacturing process data, and is urging the agency to expand confidential business information (CBI) protections through an upcoming rulemaking to amend the reporting requirements.rn"We want to maintain the confidentiality of information and we think that can best be done by keeping that process data in our facilities," said Jean Sweeney of 3M Company at a March 4 American Law Institute-American Bar Association (ALI-ABA) conference in Washington, DC, adding that EPA could instead obtain any further company information needed to administer the GHG reporting rule through site visits to facilities.
