Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt (http://origin-nyi.thehill.com/people/edward-scott-pruitt) published a memorandum (https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2017-12/documents/nsr_policy_memo.12.7.17.pdf) Thursday saying that the agency won’t “second guess” the analyses that companies have to conduct before construction projects on their plants to determine whether they’re might emit more pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.
It’s the first step in a major initiative the Trump administration is undertaking to ease the process, dubbed New Source Review, of obtaining permits for new or reconstructed plants’ emissions under the Clean Air Act. That is part of a larger Trump administration effort to ease regulatory burdens for manufacturing and related business sectors.
