Practical Tips on Responding to Government Information Requests

Environmental attorney James McGuire will speak at The Foundation for Natural Resources and Energy Law's (FNREL) Special Institute on the Air Quality Regulation of the Oil & Gas Industry, taking place in Houston, Texas. The two-day conference will address the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding air quality, one of the most complex areas of environmental regulation affecting the oil and gas industry. Mr. McGuire's presentation will cover how to respond to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requests for operational and compliance information under Section 114 of the Clean Air Act. The EPA uses this data to develop new rules or initiate enforcement, so companies should not treat these requests lightly and equip themselves with mindful strategies for response. Mr. McGuire will share best practices for Section 114 responses that balance compliance obligations with protection of business interests.
