(A) certify that the inventory is technically 
valid; or 
(B) decline to certify the inventory and 
provide an explanation of the actions or revi-
sions that are necessary for the inventory to be 
certified under subparagraph (A). 
(3) REVISION.—If the Administrator declines to

and make publicly available on the agency’s website 
a revised inventory not later than 6 months after the

LANDS.—Beginning not later than 2 years after the date 
of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior and 
the Secretary of Agriculture shall include as a discrete cat-
egory in any inventory under this section the net biological 
sequestration or emission of greenhouse gases related to 
human activities and associated with land managed by the 
Bureau of Land Management or the Forest Service. In 
developing such estimates of the net biological sequestra-

tion or emission of greenhouse gases, the Secretary of the 
Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture shall take into 
consideration the results of any available related assess-
ments performed by the Secretary of the Interior. Such 
net biological sequestration or emissions of greenhouse 
gases shall not be considered for the purposes of setting 
or measuring progress toward targets under section 6102. 
For the purposes of this subsection, the net biological se-
questration or emission of greenhouse gases refers to the 
net sequestration or emissions associated with uptake and 
release of greenhouse gases from soil, vegetation, and dead 
organic matter. 
SEC. 6102. MANAGEMENT OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. 
(a) EMISSION REDUCTION TARGETS.—Not later than 
18 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
the Administrator shall promulgate annual reduction tar-
gets for the total quantity of greenhouse gas emissions de-
scribed in section 6101(a), expressed as carbon dioxide 
equivalents, of all agencies, taken collectively, for each of 
fiscal years 2010 through 2050. 
(b) GOALS.—The targets promulgated under sub-
section (a) shall be calculated so as— 
(1) to prevent the total quantity of greenhouse 
gas emissions of all agencies in fiscal year 2011 and

each subsequent fiscal year from exceeding the total 
quantity of such emissions in fiscal year 2010; and 
(2) to reduce such greenhouse gas emissions as 
rapidly as possible, but at a minimum by a quantity 
equal to 2 percent of projected fiscal year 2010 
emissions each fiscal year, so as to achieve zero net 
annual greenhouse gas emissions from the agencies 
by fiscal year 2050. 
(c) PROPORTIONATE SHARE.—Each agency shall 
limit the quantity of its greenhouse gas emissions de-
scribed in section 6101(a) to its proportionate share so 
as to enable the agencies to achieve the targets promul-
gated under subsection (a). The Administrator shall pro-
mulgate annual reduction targets to be met by each agen-
cy to comply with this subsection, after consultation with 
the agencies and taking into account changes in agency 
size, structure, and mission over time. 
(d) AGENCY PLANS FOR MANAGING EMISSIONS.— 
(1) SUBMISSION.—Not later than 2 years after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, each agency 
shall develop, submit to the Administrator, and 
make publicly available on the agency’s website a 
plan for achieving the annual reduction targets ap-
plicable to such agency under this section through 
fiscal year 2020. Not later than 2 years before the

10-year period beginning in 2021 and each subse-
quent 10-year period, the agency shall develop, sub-
mit to the Administrator, and make publicly avail-
able an updated plan for achieving such targets for 
the respective period. Each plan developed under 
this paragraph shall— 
(A) identify the specific actions to be taken 
by the agency; and 
(B) estimate the quantity of reductions of 
greenhouse gas emissions to be achieved 
through each such action. 
(2) CERTIFICATION.—Not later than 6 months 
after an agency submits a plan under paragraph (1), 
the Administrator shall— 
(A) certify that the plan is technically 
sound and, if implemented, is expected to limit 
the quantity of the agency’s greenhouse gas 
emissions to its proportionate share under sub-
section (c); or 
(B) decline to certify the plan and provide 
an explanation of the revisions that are nec-
essary for the plan to be certified under sub-
paragraph (A). 
(3) REVISION.—If the Administrator declines to 
certify the plan of an agency under paragraph (2),

the agency shall submit to the Administrator and 
make publicly available on the agency’s website a re-
vised plan not later than 6 months after the date on 
which the Administrator provides the agency with 
the explanation required by paragraph (2)(B). 
(e) EMISSIONS MANAGEMENT.— 
(1) REQUIREMENT.—Each agency shall imple-
ment each provision in its plan under subsection (d) 
to manage its greenhouse gas emissions to meet the 
annual reduction targets applicable to such agency 
under this section. If— 
(A) an agency has met its applicable re-
duction target for the most recent year; and 
(B) the agency demonstrates that it is pro-
jected to meet such targets for future years 
without implementing a provision or provisions 
included in its plan, 
the agency may revise its plan, subject to subsection 
(d)(2), to defer implementation of such plan provi-
sions until the date that implementation is needed to 
meet the agency’s applicable targets. 
(2) REVISION OF PLAN.—If any agency fails to 
meet such targets for a fiscal year, as indicated by 
the inventory and report prepared by the agency for 
such fiscal year, the agency shall submit to the Ad-
