​Excerpt:

The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) submits these comments in response to EPA’s request for input on regulations that may be appropriate for repeal, replacement, or modification under Executive Order 13777, “Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda.” EO 13777 furthers the policy goal of alleviating unnecessary regulatory burdens on the American people by directing the heads of federal agencies to establish Regulatory Reform Task Forces (RRTF) which, among other duties, is directed to seek input from entities significantly affected by Federal regulations including, among others, trade associations. NRECA appreciates the opportunity to recommend burden reduction candidates and incorporates by reference comments submitted by the Utility Air Regulatory Group (UARG), the Utility Solid Waste Activities Group (USWAG), and the Utility Water Act Group (UWAG).
