Latest action on H.R. 7684: Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects large industrial and power facilities that already report greenhouse gas emissions to EPA. They could receive new federal guidance on how to track indirect emissions linked to suppliers, shipping, customers, and product use. It could also matter for companies in their supply chains, because covered facilities may need more data from them. Investors, regulators, states, and the public could use the guidance to compare climate-related information more easily.

Why this matters: The bill matters because many climate-related emissions happen outside a facility’s own smokestacks or equipment. Scope 3 emissions can come from suppliers, shipping, product use, and other business activity. Those emissions can be hard to measure in a fair and consistent way. EPA guidance could make the data easier to compare, but the bill does not make reporting mandatory by itself.

Key provisions in H.R. 7684

• The bill would apply to “direct emitters,” meaning facilities that already report greenhouse gases to EPA. It also lets the EPA Administrator include other facilities if the agency decides that makes sense.
• The bill covers six greenhouse gases. They are carbon dioxide, hydrofluorocarbons, methane, nitrous oxide, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride, which the Clean Air Act already treats as air pollutants.
• Scope 3 emissions means indirect greenhouse gas emissions from a company’s value chain. That includes activities before and after the company’s own operations, with the details left for EPA to decide.
• EPA would have one year after the bill becomes law to study how direct emitters should count and report scope 3 emissions. EPA would also have to publish guidance based on that study.
• EPA’s guidance would have to cover several basics. It must recommend reporting levels, calculation methods by source type, monitoring timing, data checks, missing-data methods, and recordkeeping and reporting steps.
