🔔 EPA GHGRP Parent-Company Ownership Ledger

Structured organizational parent-company ownership records for U.S. EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) facilities, read directly from the official keyless EPA Envirofacts REST API (V_PARENT_COMPANY_INFO). One record per facility / reporting-year / declared parent company, with EPA's filed owner string, address, and reported ownership percent carried verbatim.

Output is one ownership_record row per result; billing is pay-per-event, the value event being one ownership record (a $0.02 start fee per run, then $0.02 per ownership record). Source: data.epa.gov, www.epa.gov.

What you get

One ownership_record per organizational parent-owner row:

• facility_id, year — the GHGRP facility and its reporting year
• parent_company_name — EPA's filed parent-company string (organizational owners only)
• parent_co_street_address, parent_co_city, parent_co_state, parent_co_zip
• parent_co_percent_own — EPA's filed reported ownership percent, carried verbatim
• source_url, source, observed_at, license, attribution

⚙️ Sample inputs

1. Quick start — the Store example (this is what the sample above came from)

{
  "reportingYears": [
    "2023"
  ],
  "states": [
    "CA"
  ],
  "maxRecords": 50
}

The sample run charged exactly: 1 × $0.02 apify-actor-start + 50 × $0.02 ownership_record = $1.02 on the Free tier — every delivered row was billed.

2. A smaller, narrowed run

{
  "reportingYears": [
    "2023"
  ],
  "states": [
    "CA"
  ],
  "maxRecords": 5
}

Caps the run at 5 rows — about $0.12 on the Free tier ($0.02 start + 5 × $0.02).

3. A full-size run

{
  "reportingYears": [
    "2023"
  ],
  "states": [
    "CA"
  ],
  "maxRecords": 2500
}

Up to 2500 rows (the schema default for maxRecords) — about $50.02 on the Free tier ($0.02 start + 2500 × $0.02) if the source has that many.

4. A filtered run

{
  "reportingYears": [
    "2023"
  ],
  "states": [
    "CA"
  ],
  "maxRecords": 50,
  "fieldMatch": {
    "parent_company_name": "COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA"
  }
}

Keeps only rows whose parent_company_name contains COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA (a value from the sample run above), matched case-insensitively after the source is read and before the maxRecords cap, so the cap counts matches and only delivered matches are billed. searchText does the same across every column. Zero matches end the run as EMPTY_SELECTION with no row charged — if the source has moved on since that sample run, pick a value you see in your own first run. The source is still read in full — this narrows what you receive and pay for, not what the source serves.

🔧 How it works

Source. The actor reads data.epa.gov, www.epa.gov — endpoints: https://data.epa.gov/efservice, https://data.epa.gov/efservice/V_PARENT_COMPANY_INFO/, https://data.epa.gov/robots.txt, https://www.epa.gov/enviro. Public pages and feeds only; nothing behind a login.

Transport. Plain HTTPS from the Apify platform, no proxy. robots.txt is read first and a disallowed path is never fetched. Every request carries an identified contact User-Agent. Pacing: CRAWL_DELAY=0.0.

Terminal states. A run ends NORMAL, CAPPED (your cap was reached), PARTIAL (something was withheld and the message says what), GENUINE_EMPTY (the source was read and truly had nothing in scope) or BLOCKED (the source refused or changed shape — the run FAILS loud and bills nothing). A zero-row run is never reported as a silent success.

Charging. Each ownership record is charged at the moment it is pushed (ownership_record); a row that fails to charge is not delivered, so the dataset count always equals the charged count.

🔧 How it works

🔧 How it works

Filters

Supply at least one of reportingYears, states (parent-company state), or facilityIds — Envirofacts enforces a 15-minute query cutoff, so every run is bounded. maxRecords caps delivery (one charge per delivered record), hard-capped at 5000.

Person-ban rider

This dataset covers organizational owners only. Any parent-company name that does not carry an organisational marker is treated as a possible natural person and is excluded at ingest and counted (persons_excluded, reported in the run receipt). No natural-person rows are ever delivered or billed.

Scope & honesty

Filed facts only. The reported ownership percent is EPA's filed value carried verbatim — not a beneficial-ownership, legal-control, or Scope-3 determination, and none is implied. Blocked, faulted, or schema-drift runs fail loud and bill nothing. A run_receipt row closes every run with counts and terminal.

Robots & runtime STOP

data.epa.gov/robots.txt currently publishes no valid policy (a malformed welcome-page body). This actor re-reads it every run; if EPA ever publishes a real disallow for /efservice, the actor STOPS loudly and bills nothing. It never spoofs, defeats, or works around a block.

Source & licence

💰 Pricing example

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02
Ownership record (ownership_record)	$0.02	$0.018	$0.016	$0.0134

Worked at the live Free-tier price:

• 8 ownership records: $0.02 start + 8 × $0.02 = $0.18
• 25 ownership records: $0.02 start + 25 × $0.02 = $0.52
• 2500 ownership records: $0.02 start + 2500 × $0.02 = $50.02

A run that delivers zero rows charges the $0.02 start fee only. A BLOCKED run (source refused) fails loud and charges no value event. The start fee is charged once per GB of run memory; the default run memory is 4096 MB.

Yield on the sample run: NORMAL: 50 unique rows (0 duplicates collapsed). billable=50. maxRecords is a hard ceiling on what is delivered and billed, never a target.

⚖️ Legal & ToS

This actor reads public, logged-out pages and feeds published by data.epa.gov, www.epa.gov. It collects only what the source publishes to any visitor, keeps to the source's robots rules (checked on every run), identifies itself with a contact User-Agent, and does not access accounts, private data or anything behind authentication. Use the output in line with the source's terms and your local law; the intended use is B2B research and monitoring.

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need an API key or a login?
A: No. The source (data.epa.gov, www.epa.gov) is read logged-out; the input schema has no key field and the actor carries no secrets.

Q: Why did my run return 0 rows?
A: Read the run's status message. GENUINE_EMPTY means the source was read and had nothing in scope for your input; BLOCKED means the source refused and the run failed without billing a value event — retry later or narrow the input. A zero-row run bills the start fee only.

Q: How many rows can one run return?
A: Up to maxRecords (default 2500). Raise the cap for a bigger run; you pay per delivered row.

Q: How fresh is the data?
A: Every run reads the source live at run time; nothing is cached between runs. Put it on a schedule for a continuous feed.

Q: What formats can I export?
A: The dataset downloads as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS from the run's Dataset tab or the Apify API, and any run can push to a webhook or integration.

Q: How is this different from the other NexGen Watch actors actors?
A: Same output shape and billing model; this one covers data.epa.gov, www.epa.gov. The siblings under Related Actors cover the other sources or slices — run several on one schedule for a combined feed.

Q: Are there rate limits?
A: The actor paces itself against the source (CRAWL_DELAY=0.0) and honours its robots rules; there is no per-buyer limit beyond your Apify plan's concurrency.

🆘 Troubleshooting

• Run FAILED with BLOCKED → the source refused the request or changed its page shape → nothing was billed beyond the start fee; retry after a while, and if it persists open an Issue with the run id.
• Status says CAPPED → your cap (maxRecords) was reached → raise it for a bigger run.
• Input validation error on start → a field is outside the schema's allowed values → start from the Quick start block and change one field at a time.
• Run TIMED-OUT → a very wide request on a slow day → raise the run timeout in Run options or narrow the input; what was delivered before the timeout is still in the dataset.
