Sen. Inhofe Won't Rule Out Bids to Block EPA Methane Rules, but Undecided on When

摘要

Senate Republicans have not ruled out launching a Congressional Review Act (CRA) challenge to the Environmental Protection Agency's regulations on methane emissions but lack a time frame for doing so, the chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee told Bloomberg BNA June 28. Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.)-who said in March he "personally, would want a CRA on each one" of the EPA rules finalized in 2016-said there has been no decision about whether and when to mount a bid to nullify EPA's methane standards for new and modified oil and gas wells.
