On April 22, 2026, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a rule titled "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Crude Oil and Natural Gas Production Facilities and Natural Gas Transmission and Storage Facilities; Technology Review and Reconsideration." The EPA is extending the comment period on this proposed rule, which is scheduled to close on June 22, 2026. The comment period will now end on August 6, 2026, to allow additional time for stakeholders to review and comment on the proposal.
The Environmental Protection Agency is conforming the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act hazardous chemical inventory reporting regulations to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Hazard Communication Standard amendments of 2012 and 2024. The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and its regulations rely on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA's) Hazard Communication Standard for the definition of a hazardous chemical and for the categories of health and physical hazards that must be reported under the hazardous chemical inventory regulations. This action conforms the terminology used and information that must be reported on the hazardous chemical inventory forms to the Hazard Communication Standard amendments. As a result, this action improves first responder and community safety, reduces discrepancies and confusion, prevents interpretation burdens on facilities when using (Material) Safety Data Sheets to complete annual hazardous chemical inventory reports, and enhances clarity.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to remove the provisions finalized by the EPA in a 2024 final rule titled "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing" ("2024 Rubber Tire Rule"). Under the Congressional Review Act (CRA), Congress passed, and the President signed, a joint resolution of disapproval of the 2024 Rubber Tire Rule. The 2024 Rubber Tire Rule promulgated first- time air emissions standards for the rubber processing subcategory of the rubber tire manufacturing source category. Under the joint resolution and by operation of the CRA, the 2024 Rubber Tire Rule has no legal force or effect, and the EPA thus is taking this final action to remove the provisions finalized in that rule.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is updating the materials that are incorporated by reference (IBR) into the Oregon State Implementation Plan (SIP). The regulations affected by this update have been previously submitted by Oregon and approved by the EPA. This update affects the materials that are available for public inspection at the EPA Regional Office and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). In this action, the EPA is also notifying the public that we are correcting two typographical errors.
Electric car sales in Europe are accelerating as high oil prices make the switch away from fossil fuels increasingly attractive. With more affordable models, lower running costs and growing consumer demand, electric vehicles are becoming a mainstream choice across Europe.
노후 풍력설비 안전관리체계 개편…20년 경과시 안전성평가 받아야기후에너지환경부는 18일 한강홍수통제소에서 이호현 기후에너지환경부 제2차관 주재로 육상풍력 업계 간담회를 개최하고, ‘육상풍력 전주기 관리 강화방안’을 공개한다.이번 간담회는 안전하고 책임 있는 에너지 대전환을 뒷받침할 지속가능한 육상풍력 보급 기반을 구축하기 위해 마련됐다. 정부는 가동 15년 이상 설비 총 163기(26개소)에 대해 특별안전점검을 지난달까지 실시했고, 점검 결과를 바탕으로 현장의 주요 위험요인 등을 관리 강화방안에 반영했다.주요 내용으로는 노후 풍력설
OPEC “글로벌 석유 수요 정점 없다”… 에너지 안보 우선 여파 석유수출국기구(OPEC)가 전 세계 석유 수요가 정점에 달하는 시점이 도래하지 않을 것이라는 전망을 유지했다. 미국과 유럽 등 주요국 정부가 기후변화 대응 목표와 더불어 에너지 안보 및 비용 효율성을 우선순위에 두기 시작하면서 석유 수요가 '견고한 성장세'를 이어갈 것이라는 분석이다.오펙은 연례 보고서인 '세계 석유 전망(World Oil Outlook)'을 통해 "에너지 안보와 경제성에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 글로벌 에너지 정책 지형이 급변했다"며 "이러한 정책 변
