EPA’s planned schedule for

agreement. As set forth therein, EPA

file a petition for rehearing or a

suggestion for rehearing en banc in the

above-referenced case and to refrain

from bringing any unreasonable delay

claims or mandatory duty suits

regarding the SO2 NAAQS prior to

following the date of publication of this

notice, the Agency will receive written

comments relating to the settlement

from persons who were not named as

Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas

Emissions and Sinks: 1990–1996

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of document availability

and request for comments.

SUMMARY: The Draft Inventory of U.S.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks:

1990–1996 is available for public

review, and the review period has been

extended until July 6, 1998, in order to

allow additional time for public

comment. Annual U.S. emissions for the

period of time from 1990–1996 are

summarized and presented by source

category and sector. The inventory

contains estimates of CO2, CH4, N2O,

HFCs, PFCs, and SF6 emissions, as well

as estimated emissions of VOCs, NOX,

CO, and HFCs. The approach used to

estimate emissions for the greenhouse

gases was adapted from the

methodologies recommended by the

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Change. The U.S. Greenhouse Gas

Inventory is being prepared to provide

a basis for the ongoing development of

a comprehensive and accurate system to

identify and quantify emissions and

sinks of greenhouse gases in the U.S. It

will serve as part of the U.S. submission

to the Secretariat of the Framework

Convention on Climate Change and to

contribute to the updates to the U.S.

Climate Action Report. To ensure your

comments are considered for the final

version of this document, please submit

your comments prior to July 6, 1998.

However, comments received after that

date will still be welcomed and will be
