"The Trump administration wants a two-year stay of key requirements of U.S. EPA's regulations to limit methane emissions from new and substantially modified sources in the oil and natural gas sector.
EPA officials announced last night that they are proposing a two-year stay of the methane rules, on top of an existing 90-day stay. In a news release, the agency said officials want to ensure the rules don't go into effect while the administration reconsiders the rules that were drafted during the Obama administration.
The move is likely to be challenged in court by environmental groups, who are already suing over the 90-day stay."
