28. lappuse - OF GUIDELINES. — Not later than 18 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall, after opportunity for public comment, issue guidelines for the voluntary collection and reporting of information on sources of greenhouse gases. Such guidelines shall establish procedures for the accurate voluntary reporting of information on — (A) greenhouse gas emissions — (i) for the baseline period of 1987 through 1990; and (ii) for subsequent calendar years on an annual basis...
177. lappuse - ... their ability to contribute to the solution. Thus even poor countries should participate, although the lack of resources in such countries may limit the extent of their participation. Some have expressed fears that the Kyoto Protocol might adversely affect the competitive position of American industry. Evaluating how the Kyoto Protocol could affect competitiveness of a few specific manufacturing industries -- especially those that are especially energy-intensive, such as aluminum and chemicals...

"Council" means the Federal Coordinating Council on Science, Engineering, and Technology; 3. "global change" means changes in the global environment (including alterations in climate, land productivity, oceans or other water resources, atmospheric chemistry, and ecological systems) that may alter the capacity of the Earth to sustain life; 4.
91. lappuse - Act include sulfur dioxide (SOj), ozone (and its precursor nitrogen oxide, or NOx) and particulate matter (PM). Much of the burden for reducing concentrations of these pollutants has been focused on the electric utility industry because of the ease and cost effectiveness of controlling large, stationary sources compared to smaller, mobile sources. However, reducing emissions was not the only method employed to achieve compliance with increasingly stringent Clean Air Act limitations. Avoiding the...
48. lappuse - Interior, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Smithsonian Institution will all play important roles in this effort, guided by a science plan that has been drafted with participation by many of the leading scientists in this field. The Carbon Cycle Science Initiative will employ a wide variety of research activities in a comprehensive examination of the carbon cycle...
73. lappuse - EPRI has been supported voluntarily since our founding in 1973, and we have from the outset enjoyed the strong support of the state public utility regulatory commissions. Our members, public and private, account for more than 90% of the kilowatt-hours sold in the US, and we now serve more than 1,000 energy companies and related institutions in more than 40 countries. EPRI operates as an independent technical organization maintaining access to and engaging the best technical talent in the world.
44. lappuse - USGCRP this year is the organization and management of the program as a series of closely-linked program elements that are directly responsive to the scientific challenges described in the Pathways report: • Understanding the Earth's Climate System, with a focus on improving our understanding of the climate system as a whole, rather than focusing on its individual components, and thus improving our ability to predict climate change and variability. • Biology and Biogeochemistry of Ecosystems,...
