EPA Seeks Public Comment on Annual U.S. Greenhouse Gas Inventory
"(March 4, 2009) EPA is seeking public comment on the annual Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2007 draft report. This report will be open for public comment for 30 days after the Federal Register notice is published.
