; and (5) consult with Federal, State, local, academic, nonprofit, and private sector entities, as appropriate. (c) Report Not later than two years after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall submit to the appropriate committees of Congress, and make publicly available, a report assessing the results of the pilot study. The report shall include the following: (1) An overview of the findings of the pilot study pertaining to the quantification and characterization of methane emissions from covered oil and gas infrastructure. (2) An analysis of how the pilot study could support and inform the development and implementation of a national methane census study (in this section referred to as the methane census ), to be undertaken on a recurring basis and encompass all seven regions. Such analysis shall also examine the following: (A) The feasibility of evaluating the amount of methane emissions from covered oil and gas infrastructure by region, industry segment, type of emission source, or any other criterion, as a component of the methane census. (B) The necessary scope of measurement-based activities within regions in order to carry out the methane census. (C) Any onshore or offshore gaps within the scope of the pilot study that could merit inclusion as a part of the methane census. (D) The estimated budget that would be required to oversee the methane census. (E) Any other relevant topic, as determined by the Administrator. (3) An analysis of how the measurement-based evaluation of methane emissions from covered oil and gas infrastructure, as completed by the pilot study or contemplated for the methane census, could support efforts to reconcile data generated by top-down methods and bottom-up methods with respect to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks. Such analysis shall also examine the following: (A) How methane emissions data from the pilot study or methane census could be utilized as a part of a reconciliation process to better
