## Summary

**Exemption for marginal oil and gas wells**. This bill would add a new Clean Air Act subsection that exempts defined marginal wells and their associated equipment from many federal performance standards, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. - Owners and operators of marginal wells would no longer be subject to standards of performance, leak-detection surveys, emissions reporting, or related recordkeeping for those wells. - A "marginal well" is defined as 15 barrels of oil per day per well or less, or 90,000 cubic feet of natural gas per day per well or less. Oil-equivalent uses a conversion factor of 6,000 cubic feet per barrel. - States could revise plans to make standards inapplicable to marginal wells and the EPA must act on such revisions within 180 days or they are deemed approved. The EPA would have 180 days to update regulations and guidance to implement the exemption and any pending enforcement actions against marginal wells on enactment would be terminated.
