Petition of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America for EPA to Conduct Its Endangerment Finding Proceeding on the Record Using Administrative Procedure Act Sections 556 and 557, with Supporting Declaration of George T. Wolff, Ph.D.
This is a re-submission of the U.S. Chamber's ANPR comments from 2008. The Chamber believes they are responsive to issues raised in the current endangerment proposal. The Chamber has attempted to file these comments several times today, but regulations.gov has failed each time. This is another attempt.
Petition of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America for EPA to Conduct Its Endangerment Finding Proceeding on the Record Using Administrative Procedure Act Sections 556 and 557, with Supporting Declaration of George T. Wolff, Ph.D.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the world's largest business federation representing more than three million businesses and organizations of every size, sector, and region, submits these comments in response to the Environmental Protection Agency's Proposed Endangerment and Cause and Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act (the "Endangerment Proposal"). The attached comments are re-submittals of the Chamber's comments on EPA's Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) originally filed in 2008. The attached comments, although filed during the ANPR process, respond to issues raised in EPA's Endangerment Proposal.
The Supreme Court decision on Mass. v. EPA in April 2007, stated that carbon dioxide (CO2) meets the CAA definition of air pollution and that EPA must decide whether or not greenhouse gases cause endangerment (or whether scientific uncertainty precludes EPA from making a reasoned judgment). The basis for this decision must be the statutory criteria laid out under Section 202 of the CAA. In December 2007, EPA developed and submitted to OMB a proposal for an endangerment finding (in conjunction with a proposed GHG transportation rulemaking). It was withdrawn a few weeks later following passage of the Energy Independence and Security Act. OAR is now working to issue a proposed endangerment determination.
