Dear Administrator Wheeler: The proposed rule on the cost-benefit analyses required for EPA regulations, pursuant to the Clean Air Act, is a constructive step forward in creating a better regulatory structure and an improved process overall.
Here in Colorado, expansions of regional public-use airports are needed as our economy grows. However, EPA red tape has been a factor in not pursuing several expansion projects in the past. The proposed rule would help provide clarity as to how costs and benefits are calculated while also streamlining the review and approval process.
