SCOPE Act of 2026

This bill would require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to study and publish guidance, within 1 year of the law taking effect, on how facilities calculate and report scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 emissions are indirect greenhouse gas emissions that come from activities up and down a company's value chain. The guidance would apply to facilities that already report greenhouse gases to the EPA under federal rules, plus any others the EPA chooses. It would include emission thresholds above which reporting to the EPA is recommended, calculation methods, monitoring frequency, data quality checks, and recordkeeping guidance. The bill states that it does not change existing authority of the President, federal agencies, or states.
