Abstract
EPA
has
developed
this
ICR
to
ensure
that
the
new
voluntary
program
"
Climate
Leaders"
is
able
to
obtain
greenhouse
gas
emissions
data
from
companies
that
choose
to
participate
in
the
program.
EPA
will
develop
reporting
forms
and
a
letter
of
intent
for
companies
to
submit.
Larger
companies
will
join
Climate
Leaders,
and
therefore
the
impact
of
this
program
on
small
businesses
is
limited.
