EPA's McCarthy Vows No Surprises During Sprint to Finish Rulemaking

摘要

The Environmental Protection Agency's top administrator said the agency is unlikely to propose greenhouse gas mandates for refineries or methane limits for existing oil wells in the agency's sprint to finish regulations before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. "We have very little time here, and my time is to do what we've already indicated the agency is working on," administrator Gina McCarthy said Dec. 5, when asked about the possible refinery mandates that were required under a 2010 legal settlement with environmentalists, but aren't yet on the agency's official rule-making agenda. "I don't think I have any surprises up my sleeve."
