Index of CAA Rules / Applicability to the Crude oil and natural gas Sector
| EPA is reconsidering rules 40 CFR 60 0000/b, applying to new sources, and 40 CFR 0000/c, applying to existing sources. The purpose is to reduce energy costs by promoting oil and gas production.
Reporting obligations under subpart W remain in effect. Reporters will still use the e-GGRT reporting tool, and the e-GGRT optional calculation tool remains available for providing a detailed breakdown of leakage potential throughout a production operation.
Although the reporting requirements under subpart W still apply, the previously announced waste emissions charge for methane is no longer in effect. |
It is up to each facility to understand its emissions sources and how the CAA applies in each case. For guidance purposes only, the following is a listing of regulations which could potentially apply to the following land based crude oil and natural gas extraction, production, and processing activities:
