Begin Actual Construction in the New Source Review Preconstruction Permitting Program

Michael J Mc Ainsh opposes the proposed rule, arguing that the New Source Review process allows harmful projects to be permitted once significant investment has been made. He contends that the rule change will harm the public while allowing polluters to proceed with projects they have already funded.

Emily Rich, a private individual, opposes the proposed changes to the New Source Review Preconstruction Permitting Program. She argues that the proposal could reduce public oversight and that major construction should not begin without a thorough review and approval of final air permits to protect public health and the environment.

Denise Flores, an individual resident of New Mexico, opposes the proposed revision to New Source Review air-permitting regulations. She argues that the proposal would allow significant emitters, such as data centers, to bypass air-quality permit requirements and harm the environment and public health.

Mary Ricketts, representing Friends of the Earth, opposes the proposed revisions to the New Source Review (NSR) air permitting regulations. She argues that allowing construction to begin before permits are issued will undermine public input and allow harmful projects, such as large data centers, to proceed without proper vetting.

Harry Whitley, a private individual, opposes the proposed rule change regarding the New Source Review Preconstruction Permitting Program. He argues that the current rule is more practical because it allows for the correction of environmental issues before construction begins, whereas the proposed change would make correcting problems more difficult once construction has started.

Marc David, a private individual, opposes the EPA's proposal to redefine "begin actual construction" in the New Source Review process. He argues that the change would allow companies to start construction before public review, making it harder for communities to oppose new pollution sources and potentially harming public health in already overburdened areas.

Lanie Lass, a private resident, opposes the proposed rule because it would allow construction to begin before obtaining NSR permits. She argues that this creates pressure to approve permits for polluting projects and poses risks to public health and environmental justice in her local community.

Laura Livnat argues that the EPA is prioritizing the interests of the data center industry over human health. She requests that the agency maintain strict air pollution standards and requires data centers to prove they will not degrade air quality.

Lanie Lass, a private resident of Clinton, Iowa, opposes the proposed rule because she believes allowing construction to begin before obtaining NSR permits undermines the Clean Air Act. She argues that this change creates pressure to approve permits for polluting projects and poses significant risks to public health and local environments.

Jennifer Buchi expresses opposition to the proposed policy change that would end air quality permitting requirements prior to new construction. She argues that construction projects should be required to prove they will not harm public health before work begins, rather than being allowed to proceed once significant investment has been made.
