The American Exploration and Production Council (AXPC) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA or the Agency) proposed rule Increasing Consistency and Transparency in Considering Benefits and Costs in the Clean Air Act Rulemaking Process, 85 Fed. Reg. 35,612 (June 11, 2020). AXPC strongly supports the proposal. AXPC is a national trade association representing the largest independent oil and natural gas exploration and production companies in the United States. Our association works with regulators and policymakers to better educate them on our operations so that they will be able to create sound fact-based public policies that result in the safe, responsible exploration and production of America’s vast oil and natural gas resources. Our goal is to provide technical and regulatory knowledge, making AXPC a rich repository of resources on the industry and the science behind our operations.
