Hi there!
I hope you're doing well today. I wanted to let you know that the EPA is proposing a two-year Stay of Certain Requirements and a 90-day Limited Stay of Certain Requirements of the final 2016 rule "Oil and Natural Gas Sector: Emission Standards for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources." These stays, which follow an initial administrative stay of 90 days, would provide the EPA sufficient time to propose, take public comment, and issue a final action on the issues raised in petitions concerning the specific requirements on which the EPA has granted reconsideration. During this time, the agency also plans to complete its reconsideration process for all remaining issues raised in these reconsideration petitions regarding fugitive emissions, pneumatic pumps, and certification by professional engineer requirements, and intends to look broadly at the entire 2016 rule. Under the proposals, sources would not need to comply with these requirements while the stay is in effect.
