  • 2Changes could affect which industries and businesses are required to track and report their emissions
  • 3The proposal is still in early stages—the EPA is gathering public feedback before deciding what to change
  • 4Companies that report emissions data use it for compliance, planning, and sometimes to improve their environmental practices
  • 5This is a proposed rule, meaning the final version may be different based on comments from businesses, environmental groups, and the public
