HR-1140 : Still Just a Bill

This bill allows the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue a temporary waiver of requirements under the Clean Air Act or the Solid Waste Disposal Act for a critical energy resource facility if the EPA finds that the processing or refining of a critical energy resource at the facility is necessary to meet national security or energy security needs. Further, the EPA may issue such waiver with or without notice, hearing, or other report.
