CATF Statement on CTGs Rollback

The Clean Air Task Force (CATF) condemns the Trump Administration's move to roll back the EPA's October 2016 Control Techniques Guidelines (CTGs), which provided a framework for oil and gas companies to reduce smog-forming pollution in areas exceeding national limits and within the Ozone Transport Region. CATF argues that these guidelines are a "vital blueprint" for states to address dangerous emissions and that their removal harms vulnerable communities. The organization references its own 2016 report, "Gasping for Breath," which linked 750,000 annual childhood asthma attacks to oil and gas industry pollution, and pledges to oppose the proposal during the public comment period.

• The Trump Administration, via the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), has cleared an EPA proposal to withdraw the October 2016 Control Techniques Guidelines (CTGs). These guidelines established a baseline for oil and gas companies to reduce smog-forming pollution in the Ozone Transport Region and other areas exceeding national pollution limits.
