SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 24, 2014, the Council on

before February 23, 2015. The revised draft guidance discusses how

and documentation should address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the 
impacts of climate change.
    CEQ has received inquiries from state-based and national industry
