EPA Will Delay Coal-Ash Rulemaking Beyond End of Year to 'Clarify and Refine' Proposal

摘要

The Environmental Protection Agency said Dec. 17 that it will delay publication of a proposed rule on the management of coal combustion waste from power plants "for a short period due to the complexity of the analysis the agency is currently finishing."rnIn a statement, the agency said EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson had set a deadline to complete regulatory action before the end of the year but that it is still "clarifying and refining" parts of the proposal.
