In recent months, the AIA has filed or has planned to file firmly-worded letters of opposition to proposed roll-backs of longstanding Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy regulations as part of open public commentary periods. With the encouragement and support of AIA COTE Advocacy, the AIA went on the public record in September in opposition to the EPA’s proposal to roll-back existing rules that limit methane gas pollution – a harmful greenhouse gas – from oil and gas production.
