TPPF: Proposed EPA “Source Rule” lacks understanding of oil and gas sector

The Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) filed a comment with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on a proposed rule for making source determinations for certain emission units in the oil and natural gas sector. The proposed “Source Rule” proposes two options for determining whether two or more properties in the oil and gas sector are “adjacent.” Both options present overly broad aggregation standards that would substantially slow the permit review process, transform minor oil and gas sources to major stationary-like sources, and fundamentally abrogate and undermine existing state authority.
