Congressman Bishop recently received a letter from Director Jarvis stating that the comments were made in error and would be withdrawn. \u00a0\nExcerpts of the letter:\nThe NPS comments enabled the false narrative that hydraulic fracturing is not regulated and is unsafe.\u00a0 On August 29, 2013, just six days after the NPS comments were filed, the Independent Petroleum Association of America outlined, in a letter to the NPS, the plethora of inaccuracies included in the NPS comments.\u00a0 On September 6, 2013, I sent a letter to NPS Director Jarvis requesting the withdrawal of the comments because of the well-documented inaccuracies.\u00a0 \nIt\u2019s further troubling that the NPS lacks a system of data accountability and quality control.\u00a0 Director Jarvis wrote in the November 13, 2013 letter: \u201cI did not, nor did anyone from management, review the comments\u201d.\u00a0 This is very puzzling and raises further questions and concerns.\nview the letter here", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://web.archive.org/web/20140221004329/http://robbishop.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=363564"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.0967209711670876, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
