Title: Final Extension of Deadlines in Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review 
Abstract:

On March 8, 2024, the EPA finalized New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) regulating greenhouse gases (GHG) and volatile organic compounds emissions from the Crude Oil and Natural Gas source category pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA). The EPA also finalized emission guidelines under the CAA for states to follow in developing, submitting, and implementing state plans to establish performance standards to limit GHG emissions from existing sources (designated facilities) in the Crude Oil and Natural Gas source category. On July 31, 2025, the EPA issued an interim final rule extending certain compliance dates and deadlines in the final NSPS and Emission Guidelines. The EPA held a public hearing on September 2, 2025. The public comment period closed October 3, 2025. The EPA finalized this action on December 3, 2025, which further extended certain deadlines and responded to comments received on the interim final rule.
