More Info On The Data Metals Producers Must Submit To U.S. Government
As Connecting the Dots reported last month, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) released its final questionnaire regarding the emissions data that U.S. metals producers must submit to the federal government in the upcoming weeks. Producers already were required to submit responses to a company-level questionnaire in April. A facility-level questionnaire is now due June 8, 2024.
Last week, the ITC released an updated “frequently asked questions” document to help guide companies in completing this requirement.
As a reminder as well, generally, the ITC defines this data as:
- Scope 1: Direct emissions from the facility’s owned or controlled sources.
- Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the generation of the facility’s purchased energy, including electricity, steam, heat, or cooling.
- Certain scope 3 emissions: Emissions associated with material and resource inputs for the production of steel and aluminum.
Companies that have questions about the required submissions should contact sa.emissions@usitic.gov.
