Under the Framework, the United States and other developed countries agreed to submit greenhouse gas emissions reports annually to the Secretariat of the Convention. For copies of the document, "Draft Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990 - 1997" (March 1999), fax a request to the U.S. EPA Climate Policy and Programs Division at 202-260-6405 or write to the following address: U.S. EPA Climate Policy and Programs Division (2175), 401 M St., S.W., Washington, D.C. 20460. The report will also be on the Internet soon at: www.epa.gov/globalwarming/inventory.
