EPA Extends Oil and Gas Pollution Data Collection Rules

## Summary

The EPA is asking to extend its paperwork rules for oil and natural gas companies to keep tracking pollution and safety info. This affects businesses in oil and gas production and natural gas delivery, with no new costs but a chance to comment by December 18, 2025. The goal? Keep things clear and safe while making sure the paperwork isn’t too much trouble.

## Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Oil and Natural Gas Production and Natural Gas Transmission and Distribution (EPA ICR Number 2437.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0673) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through November 30, 2025. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register on August 6, 2024 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
