(H.R. 910) On an amendment that would have allowed the Environmental Protection Agency to continue to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. This amendment also would have required the EPA—prior to issuing new regulations relating to greenhouse gases—to hold a 30 day “public comment period” in which industries affected by such regulation (such as oil and gas) could raise concerns with EPA officials.

This was a vote on an amendment by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) that would have allowed the Environmental Protection Agency to continue to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. The underlying bill banned the EPA from regulating such gases. This amendment would have eliminated that prohibition, and instead required the EPA to hold a 30 day “public comment period” in which industries affected by greenhouse gas regulations (such as oil and gas) could raise concerns with EPA officials. The amendment required that this public comment period be held prior to implementing new regulations relating to greenhouse gases. In addition, the amendment would have required the EPA to conduct a study on the “adverse environmental effects of delaying implementation” of such regulations. |
