The reforms announced yesterday cut red tape, lower costs, and provide certainty for producers—helping protect jobs, strengthen reliability, and keep America competitive.” During the event, Secretary Burgum announced the opening of 13.1 million acres of federal land for coal leasing, tripling the benchmarks set by the Working Families Tax Cuts plan. The Bureau of Land Management is also streamlining approvals for projects and lowering royalty rates to 7 percent so producers can better compete in global markets while sustaining revenues for taxpayers. Under the Working Families Tax Cuts plan, lease sales are already underway, including projects at Freedom Mine and Falkirk Mine in North Dakota. Administrator Zeldin announced that EPA will provide steam electric power generation with more time to comply with existing effluent limitations guidelines (ELGs) to affordably meet the nation’s growing electricity demand, including for data centers and manufacturing. The agency is also requesting information on the viability of compliance pathways that may disincentivize continued coal combustion, and technology-based implementation challenges related to the 2024 ELG rule. When implemented, the proposal will save up to $200 million annually in electricity costs, provide reliable and low-cost baseload energy, boost industrial competitiveness, and make America a leader in Artificial Intelligence. Additionally, EPA is issuing an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to solicit information from the public to assist in the development of regulatory changes on the implementation and structure of the Clean Air Act (CAA)’s Regional Haze Rule (RHR). EPA is seeking input regarding how the agency can meaningfully revise the RHR to streamline regulatory requirements impacting states’ visibility improvement obligations under the Clean Air Act, ensuring it reflects Congressional intent and recent improvements in air quality. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z |
