(FAR)Completed Actions 190. FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION (FAR); FAR CASE 2021-015, DISCLOSURE OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND CLIMATE-RELATED FINANCIAL RISK [9000-AO32] Legal Authority: 40 U.S.C. 121(c); 10 U.S.C. ch. 4; 10 U.S.C. ch. 137 legacy provisions; 10 U.S.C. 3016; 51 U.S.C. 20113 Abstract: DoD, GSA, and NASA are withdrawing the proposed rule to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR)titled: Disclosure of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate-Related Financial Risk. Executive Order 14030, directed the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to consider amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR)to require major Federal suppliers to publicly disclose greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risk and to set science-based reduction targets. The agencies lack sufficient time during the Biden-Harris Administration, however, to finalize the proposal, particularly given the large volume of public comments and the policy issues they raised. The agencies' overall analysis of public comments indicates evolving practices and use of standards in industry, and since the publication of the proposed rule, differing domestic and international regulations covering greenhouse gas disclosures have been created. The FAR Council will continue to monitor recommendations from stakeholders on industry practice, both voluntary and under other requirements, to inform any future efforts in anticipation of continued movement towards more uniform use of standards. Accordingly, the proposed rule is withdrawn and FAR Case 2021-015 is closed.

In light of the limited time remaining in the current Administration, OFPP, DoD, GSA, and NASA have decided to withdraw the proposed policy and rule and focus their attention on other priorities, including directives in recent National Defense Authorization Acts. This will also help ensure that the agencies can benefit from the latest information on this topic if they return to it in the future. Accordingly, for these independently sufficient reasons, the proposed policy and rule published on January 30, 2024, at 89 FR 5843, are withdrawn and FAR Case 2023-021 is closed.
