NMA Seeks EPA Rule Overhauls But Favors Punting On GHG Risk Finding

摘要

The National Mining Association (NMA) is backing the Trump EPA's push to rescind or overhaul Obama-era rules including the Clean Power Plan (CPP) and Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction rule, cautioning against letting highly politicized debates over more controversial issues such as the agency's climate risk finding hinder the regulatory reforms. "Taking on the endangerment finding does nothing but introduce lack of certainty, because that will take up years and years to resolve," Bruce Watzman, NMA's senior vice president for regulatory affairs, told Inside EPA in a recent interview.
