In his words: "The EPA has got concerns about the regulatory overreach, they've got concerns about implementation, is there existing regulatory authority, do you need legislation? And on that front the ball is in their court with the existing regulatory piece." I just spoke to Dave last night, so I'm sorry for the weekend inquiry ... but I wanted to give you all a chance to respond to the following: 1. Does EPA believe it possesses regulatory authority to enforce domestic rules in line with the Kigali Amendment? 2. Does EPA believe Congress needs to give the agency authority to regulate HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) as a greenhouse gas emission? 3. Does the EPA believe the Kigali Amendment is legal under the Montreal Protocol framework, which seeks to address ozone layer depletion? As mentioned, working with a 5 p.m. Sunday deadline. I'll look out for your response. -Zack Zack Colman energy/enviro journalist ....Ex. 6.....
