IPAA Statement on EPA’s Repeal of the Endangerment Finding
2.12.26
"EPA must ensure that the rules and regulations governing stationary sources are clear and durable for our members"
WASHINGTON - The Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) released the following statement on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) final rule repealing the 2009 endangerment finding.
IPAA President & CEO Edith Naegele: "IPAA supports the Trump Administration in its efforts to reform and streamline regulations governing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. EPA properly concludes that the Clean Air Act does not provide it with the authority to regulate certain greenhouse gas emissions. America's independent oil and natural gas explorers and producers need a federal regulatory regime that provides certainty and stability. As the Trump Administration takes action to rescind the Endangerment Finding to address overreaching vehicle emission standards, the EPA must ensure that the rules and regulations governing stationary sources are clear and durable for our members, energy producers operating upstream."
