Industry Objects To EPA Revocation Of CBI Protections For GHG Registry

摘要

Industry groups are protesting EPA's decision to revoke confidential business information (CBI) protections for several sectors required to report to the agency's greenhouse gas (GHG) registry, but say they might have few options to challenge the decision because EPA did not make the change in a formal rulemaking. Environmentalists, however, welcome the agency's revocation of CBI protections and are urging EPA to end the deferral for other sectors that are currently able to claim information is CBI, especially the oil and gas industry.
