NGO letter against MERP repeal HR 1

The document is a letter from various NGOs to the U.S. House of Representatives arguing against the repeal of the Methane Emissions Reduction Program (MERP). The authors contend that MERP is essential for cutting oil and gas methane emissions, protecting public health, and stimulating economic growth through a waste emissions charge and $1.55 billion in funding for emission controls.

• The signatories oppose Section 10013 of H.R. 1 because repealing the Methane Emissions Reduction Program (MERP) would negatively impact the climate, public health, and economic benefits.
• The MERP's waste emissions charge (WEC) is targeted at large facilities emitting more than 25,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas annually, with fees only applied to emissions exceeding performance-based targets.
• MERP provides $1.55 billion in funding for state agencies, communities, and oil and gas operators to implement methane emission controls, which the authors claim will create tens of thousands of high-paying jobs.
