Inquiries Pertaining to Oil and Gas Sector Data
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has withdrawn a 2016 information request for the oil and gas industry, effective immediately, as announced in a notice published on March 2, 2017, in the Federal Register.
In the notice, the EPA informs recipients of the request that they are no longer required to respond. However, the letter does not provide a deadline for the withdrawal of the request nor does it specify a reason for the withdrawal.
The notice does not indicate any changes in the regulatory requirements for the oil and gas industry. Furthermore, it does not mention any replacement or new information request for the industry.
Interestingly, nine state attorneys general and two governors had previously sent a letter asking for the suspension and withdrawal of the 2016 information request. However, no relevant information in February 2017 indicated which organisations wrote this official letter to the EPA.
If survey recipients have questions, they can contact the EPA at 888-627-7764 or via email at [email protected]. The public can read the Federal Register notice regarding the withdrawal of the obligation to submit information.
Background information on the Information Collection Request for the Oil and Natural Gas Industry is available. It is worth noting that the EPA's letter to information request recipients does not state if the public can read the letter, does not provide a contact number or email for questions, and does not indicate where the Federal Register notice regarding the withdrawal of the obligation to submit information can be found.
