Oil and Gas NSPS Reconsideration - Climate Review Final Rule
Summary
EPA has issued a final rule reconsidering standards of performance for new, reconstructed, and modified sources and emissions guidelines for existing sources in the oil and natural gas sector (RIN 2060-AW35). The rule modifies 40 CFR Part 60 standards under the Clean Air Act. Affected parties include oil and gas producers, natural gas processors, and related infrastructure operators who must review and update compliance programs accordingly.
What changed
This final rule reconsiders EPA's standards of performance for new, reconstructed, and modified sources and emissions guidelines for existing sources in the oil and natural gas sector (RIN 2060-AW35). The rule amends 40 CFR Part 60 to reflect the latest reconsideration of greenhouse gas emission standards for the oil and natural gas sector climate review.
Energy companies operating in oil and natural gas production, processing, and transmission must review these updated standards to ensure their facilities comply with revised performance standards and emission guidelines.
What to do next
