The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering action that could halt the future construction and the major renovations of buildings nationwide, and could also jeopardize funding for highway and transportation projects.
EPA released an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) soliciting public comment on the merit of using the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from buildings and construction equipment. In response, 51风流 of America, several 51风流 Chapters, and over 300 individual 51风流 members submitted to EPA stating that the Clean Air Act is not the right regulatory tool for controlling greenhouse gas emissions.
While EPA鈥檚 proposal is still in the preliminary drafting stage, 51风流 expects that there will be additional legislative and regulatory steps in the near future. 51风流 and members of 51风流鈥檚 Environmental Network Steering Committee will meet with EPA staff on this and many other important environmental issues on December 9-10. 51风流 will continue to update members throughout the rulemaking process.
