Then \u201cthe president will make a decision on the merits,\u201d said the notice, issued by the E.P.A. on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Joseph Goffman, former executive director of Harvard Law School\u2019s Environmental and Energy Law Program who served as E.P.A. assistant administrator for air pollution under President Joseph R. Biden Jr., said he feared the President Trump was \u201csetting up a rubber stamp process\u201d that would allow companies to avoid a long list of rules on air pollution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Normally, the agency would lay down more specific criteria for exemptions to a rule, he said. He also said that Congress had clearly intended for Clean Air Act exemptions to come with conditions that would ensure at least some pollution limits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBecause none of that is present, it strongly suggests that the decisions will be at best ad hoc,\u201d Mr. Goffman said. \u201cThat\u2019s in defiance of Congress\u2019s intent, in defiance of the public health needs of the communities that are affected, and in defiance of the E.P.A.\u2019s past practices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Molly Vaseliou, a spokeswoman for the E.P.A., pushed back against that view, saying nowhere in the law was there an explicit requirement for such conditions. \u201cThis type of \u2018legal analysis\u2019 seems consistent with people who were responsible\u201d for interpretations of laws the Supreme Court <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/06\/29\/climate\/supreme-court-epa.html\" title=\"\">has struck down<\/a>,\u201d she said in an email.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The latest policy allows for companies to apply for exemptions of up to two years, the maximum allowed under the Clean Air Act, from numerous new restrictions on emissions of toxic chemicals like mercury and arsenic, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/03\/14\/climate\/epa-sets-limits-on-ethylene-oxide.html\" title=\"\">as well as ethylene oxide<\/a>, a colorless gas that is widely used to sterilize medical devices and is also a carcinogen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Zeldin, a former member of Congress from New York, has also said he would allow coal-burning power plants to apply for exemptions from a new rule that requires them to address the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/09\/21\/us\/coal-ash-spill-dam-breach.html\" title=\"\">health risks of coal ash<\/a>, a toxic substance created by burning coal to produce electricity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The agency has said it intends to ultimately rewrite many of these same rules, an arduous process that is expected to take time. So the E.P.A. appears to be pursuing \u201ca two-step process where it says it\u2019s going to take the next few years to roll back the rules,\u201d but in the meantime avoid companies having to meet any of them, said James Pew, director of clean air practice at the environmental group Earthjustice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s hard to imagine how these exemptions could be lawful,\u201d Mr. Pew said. For all of the new rules, for example, the Biden administration had already identified alternative technology that was available and affordable. The idea that the ability to pollute was in the national interest was also hard to buy, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As of Thursday, it was unclear whether the agency had started to receive exemption applications, whether any had been granted, and if or how they would be disclosed. Companies must apply for exemptions by the end of the month, the E.P.A. said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The National Association of Manufacturers, the American Petroleum Institute, and the American Chemistry Council, which represent major regulated industries, did not immediately respond to comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/27\/climate\/epa-air-pollution-exemption-mercury-coal-ash.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year, the Biden administration required coal- and oil-burning power plants to greatly reduce emissions of toxic chemicals including mercury,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15714,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[340,3313,5011,658,1131,181,182,341,101,1129,5012,219,111,1128],"class_list":["post-15713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science","tag-air-pollution","tag-clean-air-act","tag-coal","tag-environment","tag-environmental-protection-agency","tag-global-warming","tag-greenhouse-gas-emissions","tag-hazardous-and-toxic-substances","tag-law-and-legislation","tag-lee-m","tag-mercury-metal","tag-regulation-and-deregulation-of-industry","tag-united-states-politics-and-government","tag-zeldin"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>E.P.A.
