Begin Actual Construction in the New Source Review Preconstruction Permitting Program

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.

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.

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.

Andrew Opila, a photographer and videographer, opposes the proposed changes to the New Source Review Preconstruction Permitting Program.

Margaret Landreau, a private citizen, opposes the proposed changes to the New Source Review Preconstruction Permitting Program. She argues that the current permitting process is essential for protecting public health and air quality, and expresses concern that "fast-tracking" or circumventing these safeguards would benefit developers at the expense of the public.

Marissa Ferrante, a concerned citizen, opposes the proposal to allow construction to begin before final air permits are secured. She argues that this change undermines public oversight, transparency, and the ability to evaluate environmental and public health impacts before construction starts.

Fletcher Libre opposes the proposed action to allow construction to begin before final air permits are issued. The commenter argues that maintaining stringent New Source Review requirements is essential for public oversight, environmental protection, and community well-being.
