WASHINGTON, District of Columbia, March 12, 2025 – Amy Andryszak, President & CEO of the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA) released the following statement:
“INGAA applauds the efforts of President Trump and Administrator Zeldin to streamline environmental regulations, and the announcement to reconsider many federal air regulations of importance to our member companies. Chief among them is the flawed Good Neighbor Rule, which the U.S. Supreme Court stayed last year due the substantial likelihood that the rule is illegal. Today’s announcement puts EPA on a path to unwinding this harmful regulation and returning implementation to the States.
“INGAA is also pleased the EPA will reconsider the Methane Rule for Oil & Gas (known as ‘OOOOb/c’), on which we previously filed a petition with EPA seeking corrections to certain unworkable aspects. The agency will now be able to make these much-needed changes, which will result in a clear and reasonable federal methane standard for gas pipeline operators.
“Other issues of importance to our membership, like revisions to the GHG Reporting Program, reconsideration of National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs), and revising the prior administration’s ‘Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases’, provide opportunities to right-size federal environmental regulations while ensuring a level playing field.
“INGAA looks forward to working with EPA to achieve practical and clear federal air regulations.”
