Please accept these 44,995 public comments from online members and activists of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), regarding EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0483, in opposition to the rollback of the New Source Performance Standards that regulate the emissions of methane gas by oil and gas operations. Methane and the toxic air pollutants released alongside it pose a serious risk to surrounding communities, triggering asthma attacks and increasing cancer rates. Revoking this rule would result in 380,000 tons of additional methane released into our air on an annual basis, and for these reasons we urge you to keep strong methane regulations in place. Thank you for your consideration.

Abstract

On June 3, 2016, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized Oil and Natural Gas Sector: Emission Standards for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources (40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOOa). EPA received five petitions for reconsideration on the 2016 OOOOa rule. By a letter dated April 18, 2017, the EPA announced the convening of a proceeding for reconsideration of certain provisions in the 2016 OOOOa rule. On June 5, 2017, the EPA granted reconsideration of additional requirements in that rule.
