COUNCIL ON ENVIRONMENTAL 

QUALITY 

Draft Guidance, ‘‘Federal Greenhouse 

Gas Accounting and Reporting’’ 

AGENCY: Council on Environmental 

Quality. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability, Draft 

Guidance, ‘‘Federal Greenhouse Gas 

Accounting and Reporting.’’ 

SUMMARY: On October 5, 2009, President 

Obama signed Executive Order (E.O.) 

13514—Federal Leadership in 

Environmental, Energy, and Economic 

Performance (74 FR 52117) in order to 

establish an integrated strategy toward 

sustainability in the Federal 

Government and to make reduction of 

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions a 

priority for Federal agencies. Among 

other provisions, E.O. 13514 requires 

agencies to measure, report, and reduce 

their GHG emissions. 

Section 9(a) of E.O. 13514 directed the 

Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Federal 

Energy Management Program (FEMP), in 

coordination with the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA), Department of 

Defense (DoD), General Services 

Administration (GSA), Department of 

the Interior (DOI), Department of 

Commerce (DOC), and other agencies as 

appropriate, to develop recommended 

Federal GHG reporting and accounting 

procedures. On April 5, 2010, DOE– 

FEMP submitted the final 

recommendations on Federal GHG 

reporting and accounting procedures to 

the Chair, Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ). 

Section 5(a) of E.O. 13514 directed 

that the Chair of CEQ issue guidance for 

Federal GHG accounting and reporting. 

Based on the final recommendations, 

CEQ has prepared a draft guidance 

document. CEQ is committed to open 

government principles and leading by 

example to ensure that the Federal 

Government is transparent in its 

processes for accounting and reporting 

of Federal GHG emissions. 

The Federal Government seeks to 

continually improve both the quality of 

data and methods necessary for 

calculating GHG emissions. Over time, 

additional requirements, methodologies 

and procedures will be included in 

revisions to this document and 

supporting documents to improve the 

Federal Government’s overall ability to 

accurately account for and report GHG 

emissions. In particular, while a 

detailed approach to accepted and peerreviewed life cycle methodologies is 

beyond the scope of the current version 

of this guidance document, the Federal 

Government is interested in including 

such approaches in future versions, and 

may request comment on inclusion of 

life cycle methodologies in future 

versions of this Guidance document. 

CEQ provides this draft guidance for 

public review and comment to ensure 

accessibility of Federal accounting and 

reporting requirements and to enhance 

the quality of public involvement in 

governmental decisions relating to the 

environment. 

DATES: Comments should be submitted 

on or before August 16, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: The Draft Guidance, 

‘‘Federal Greenhouse Gas Accounting 

and Reporting’’ documents are available 

at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/ceq/ 

sustainability. Comments on the Draft 

Guidance, ‘‘Federal Greenhouse Gas 

Accounting and Reporting,’’ should be 

submitted electronically to

writing to The Council on 

Environmental Quality, Attn: Leslie 

Gillespie-Marthaler, 722 Jackson Place,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Chair, 

Council on Environmental Quality is 

required, under section 5(a) of E.O. 

13514, to issue guidance for Federal 

agency greenhouse gas accounting and 

reporting. Federal agencies are required, 

under Section 2(c) of E.O. 13514, to 

establish and report to the CEQ Chair 

and OMB Director a comprehensive 

inventory of absolute GHG emissions, 

including scope 1, scope 2, and 

specified scope 3 emissions for fiscal 

year 2010, and thereafter, annually. 

The Draft Guidance, ‘‘Federal 

Greenhouse Gas Accounting and 

Reporting’’ establishes government-wide 

requirements for Federal agencies in 

calculating and reporting GHG 

emissions associated with agency 

operations. The Draft Guidance is 

accompanied by a separate Draft 

Technical Support Document for 

Federal GHG Accounting and Reporting 

(TSD), which provides detailed 

information on Federal inventory 

reporting requirements and calculation 

methodologies. Specifically, CEQ is 

interested in comments on section/ 

chapter 4 regarding renewable energy. 

CEQ will seek public comment on this 

draft guidance for 30 days. 

Public comments are requested on or 

before August 16, 2010. 

Dated: July 12, 2010.
