Chairman Issa Statement on EPA Boiler MACT Rule Delay

The following press release was published by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on May 16, 2011. It is reproduced in full below.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) today released the following statement regarding an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) decision to delay implementation of a new rule impacting operators of large boilers:

“EPA’s proposed Boiler MACT rule would put more than 300,000 U.S. jobs at risk. The agency’s decision to delay implementation of this rule is a temporary stay of career execution for these workers, but the greater challenge remains: ending job-killing regulations that push employers overseas.

“President Obama said that some regulations are deeply flawed. That being the case, it’s hard to imagine a better poster-child than the latest incarnation of Boiler MACT."
