New US fracking rules delayed until mid-October

摘要

Washington—New federal fracking rules, originally set to take effect in June, will be delayed until at least mid-October after both sides in a federal case challenging the rules requested more time this week to submit arguments. “Given the voluminous nature of the record, the parties agree that additional time is necessary to complete a preliminary review of the record and identify additional citations pertinent to the pending motions for a preliminary injunction,” attorneys wrote in joint motion Wednesday.
