Latest action on S. 3928: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects large facilities that already report greenhouse gas pollution to the EPA. They would not face a new scope 3 reporting mandate from this bill, but they could get new federal guidance on how to track indirect emissions. EPA would also have new work to study the issue and write the guidance. Investors, lenders, regulators, and companies could use the guidance to compare climate-related data more consistently.

Why this matters: Many companies report pollution from their own facilities, but much of their climate impact can come from suppliers, shipping, customers, or product use. This bill would push EPA to give clearer advice on how large facilities can measure that indirect pollution. Better guidance could make climate data easier to compare. The bill's impact would still depend on how EPA writes the guidance and whether companies or future rules rely on it.

Key provisions in S. 3928

• The bill applies to direct emitters. That means facilities already covered by EPA greenhouse gas reporting rules in 40 C.F.R. part 98, subparts C through JJ, plus any other facilities EPA names.
• Scope 3 emissions are indirect greenhouse gases from a company's value chain. EPA would decide which upstream and downstream activities count.
• EPA must study how direct emitters should calculate and report scope 3 emissions. The study is due within one year after the bill becomes law.
• EPA must publish guidance on when scope 3 reporting is recommended. The guidance would set suggested emission levels, but it would not require reporting.
• EPA must give ways to calculate scope 3 emissions. The methods must fit different source categories.
