Summary: The Flexible Packaging Association (FPA), representing U.S. manufacturers of flexible packaging, supports the EPA's proposed revision to the definition of "begin actual construction." They argue that allowing non-emitting activities (like laying foundations and piping) before obtaining a permit will reduce costs, expedite project timelines, and promote economic growth without compromising environmental protections.
