Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-1999

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of document availability and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Draft Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and
Sinks: 1990-1999 is available for public review and comment. Annual
U.S. emissions for the period of time from 1990-1999 are summarized and
presented by source category and sector. The inventory contains
estimates of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O),
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), perfluorocarbons (PFC), and sulfur
hexaflouride (SF6) emissions. The inventory also includes updated
estimates of carbon sequestration in U.S. forests and soils. The
technical approach used in this report to estimate greenhouse gas
emissions from sources and removals by sinks is consistent with the
methodologies recommended by the

[[Page 1675]]

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The Inventory of U.S.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks is the latest in a series of annual
U.S. submissions to the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change.
