This week EPA’s Administrator signed a proposed rule to further delay the effective date of the RMP rule amendments for 20 months until February 19, 2019. This action will allow EPA to consider several petitions for reconsideration of the RMP rule amendments and take further regulatory action. EPA will hold a public hearing regarding the proposed effective date. Written comments must be received by May 19, 2017.
A public hearing will be held in Washington, DC on April 19, 2017, at William J. Clinton East Building, Room 1153 (Map Room), 1201 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20460, from 9:00AM – 4:00PM.
