The Trump administration is facing significant backlash from electricity and energy industry groups, oil and gas firms, and even some Republican members of Congress over its efforts to end a decadelong emissions reporting rule.

In mid-September, the Environmental Protection Agency said it was proposing to repeal the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, which has required large polluters to report their greenhouse gas emissions since 2011. The EPA claimed at the time that the program was “burdensome” and “costly,” and has had “no material impact on improving health and environment.”
