            (2) Greenhouse gas inventory.--The term ``greenhouse gas 
        inventory'' means a quantified list of an entity's annual 
        greenhouse gas emissions.
            (3) Scope 1 emissions.--The term ``Scope 1 emissions''

        controlled by the entity.
    (b) Prohibition on Disclosure Requirements.--The Secretary of 
Defense may not require the recipient of a Federal contract to provide 
a greenhouse gas inventory or to provide any other report on greenhouse 
gas emissions, including Scope 1 emissions, Scope 2 emissions, or Scope
