SIGN THE PETITION TO STOP THE EPA FROM REGULATING GHGS

November 10, 2009

There are just under 50 days left in the comment period on the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed “tailoring rule” outlining regulations for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from large industrial facilities. Please help stop the EPA from moving forward by signing a letter at www.nam.org/epa.

Congress, not the EPA, is the appropriate authority to deal with such a complex regulatory issue that needs and deserves transparency and rigorous public debate.

This “tailoring rule” is the first step toward regulating carbon emissions from large stationary sources that emit more than 25,000 tons of GHGs while establishing the process to begin regulating smaller plants.

For a manufacturer, it could mean doing something as simple as adding a “plant shift” to the schedule that would trigger EPA regulation.

Please help us stop the EPA from undermining manufacturers’ ability to remain competitive globally, retain and create jobs, and our ability to help our nation recover from this economic downturn.

For more information, please contact Bryan Brendle, the NAM’s Director, Energy & Resources Policy at bbrendle@nam.org.
