Bill > HR5698

This bill, titled the Manufacturing Assistance to Determine Emissions Act (MADE Act), directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator to establish a program to enhance the transparency, quality, and availability of life-cycle assessment data, and harmonize life-cycle assessment approaches to calculating greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental factors, in the production of products made primarily of eligible materials (such as aluminum, steel, concrete, cement, flat glass, insulation, etc.) through environmental product declarations or a similar mechanism. The bill requires the Administrator to maintain a list of eligible materials, designate product category rules for products made primarily of these materials, establish a national database of environmental product declarations, and provide technical assistance and grants to businesses to develop and verify such declarations. The bill also requires the Administrator to conduct audits of the environmental product declarations and review the program after 5 years.
