Begin Actual Construction in the New Source Review Preconstruction Permitting Program

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.

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.

A private individual named Jessica is requesting that construction not be allowed to begin before the permitting process is complete. She argues that U.S. citizens have a right to be informed about the potential health and environmental impacts of projects.

Alissa Keny-Guyer, an individual associated with the Sierra Club, opposes the proposed revision to the New Source Review air-permitting regulations. She argues that the proposal allows significant emitters to bypass permit requirements by constructing non-emitting portions of facilities first, and she urges the EPA to maintain current Clean Air Act requirements to protect public health and the environment.

Karen Hoffmann opposes the proposed rule because she believes allowing construction to begin before obtaining NSR permits undermines the Clean Air Act's purpose and creates pressure to approve permits for projects that should be denied. She argues that this change risks irreversible environmental and health impacts, particularly for frontline communities, and requests that the EPA withdraw the proposal.
