Inflation Reduction Act
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed H.R. 5376 (P.L. 117-169), a budget reconciliation measure commonly referred to as the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022” (IRA). Section 60113 of the IRA amended the CAA by adding section 136, “Methane Emissions and Waste Reduction Incentive Program for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems.” CAA section 136(c) directs the Administrator of EPA to impose and collect a WEC on methane emissions that exceed statutorily specified waste emissions levels from an owner or operator of an “applicable facility.”
