The EPA is seeking small business representatives to serve on a Small Business Advocacy Review Panel for an upcoming rulemaking regarding emissions of hazardous air pollutants, which could impact many small businesses.
The SBA recently released notices calling for comments on two rules that affect small businesses: one focusing on expanding the mentor-protégé program; and the other on EPA regulations.
Earlier this week, the House Energy and Commerce Committee approved a bipartisan bill which would help to rein in the EPA's authority to regulate carbon emissions from new and existing power plants.
The EPA is conducting “listening sessions” across the country to garner input on how best to reduce carbon emissions from existing power plants—a first step to proposing new regulations expected in June 2014.
