On the recordJune 5, 2002
I believe the intent of the amendment in this regard is that the Department of Commerce would primarily be involved in developing measurement standards for monitoring of emissions, as well as verification technologies and methods to ensure the maintenance of a consistent and technically accurate record or emissions, emission reductions and atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases for the database. This is clearly stated in Sections 1103(b)(2) and 1106(a)(2)(D) of the bill. Within the Department of Commerce, it is my intent that these functions would primarily be carried out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST.
