U.S. EPA Training: Reducing Climate- and Health-Harming Pollution from the Oil and Natural Gas Industry
U.S. EPA TRAINING
2022 Supplemental Proposal
Reducing Climate- and Health-Harming Pollution from the Oil and Natural Gas Industry
Reducing Climate- and Health-Harming Pollution from the Oil and Natural Gas Industry
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED
On November 2, 2021, EPA took significant steps in fighting the climate crisis and protecting public health through a proposed rule that would sharply reduce methane and other harmful air pollution from both new and existing sources in the oil and natural gas industry. With the 2022 supplemental proposed rule, EPA is proposing to update, strengthen and expand the 2021 proposal to secure major climate and health benefits for all Americans by reducing emissions of methane and other harmful air pollution from both new and existing sources in the oil and natural gas industry. The supplemental proposal would make emissions reductions from oil and natural gas operations more comprehensive by improving standards in the 2021 proposal and adding proposed requirements for sources not previously covered by the rules.
In addition, EPA is proposing more detailed requirements for states as they develop plans to reduce emissions from existing oil and natural gas sources, and for tribes that choose to develop plans for existing sources in Indian country. The proposal includes more detailed requirements for meaningful stakeholder engagement during plan development.
To help engage with our stakeholders on the supplemental proposed oil and natural gas methane rule, EPA will host three separate trainings. Each training will provide an overview of the supplemental proposed rule, information on how to effectively engage in the regulatory process, and an opportunity to ask questions. Although all trainings are open to the public, the trainings will include information tailored to specific groups: environmental justice communities/tribal nations, tribal environmental professionals, and small business stakeholders.
These virtual events are FREE and open to the public. These events will be held using Zoom, and a toll-free call-in number will be available. To learn more about this supplemental proposed rule and the training events, please click HERE.
