An important read as the EPA has overhauled the greenhouse gas reporting requirements for the oil and gas industry. Read our Commentary for details on the new reporting regulations, which are the second step in EPA's three-pronged regulatory approach to address methane releases by the industry. #emissions #oilandgas #energy https://ow.ly/PWpe50S7976

Interesting Fortune article about the new status of CHROs. Reminds me of what Jack Welch used to say about how an organization's CHRO is equal to if not more important than its CFO. #HR #humanresources

Dear friends, If you interact with any regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, you have likely heard about the Supreme Court's overruling Chevron deference. Please join my partners tomorrow afternoon (link below) to learn more about what this ruling means and what to expect next on the regulatory front. Our team is prepared to provide guidance on the shifting regulatory and legislative landscape, strategies to challenge existing agency rules and orders, risk mitigation for transactions and product development, and assistance in crafting responses to agency inquiries or enforcement actions. #wearremorganlewis, #MLLifSci

On June 28, 2024, #SCOTUS issued a 6-3 opinion in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo removing the requirement that federal courts defer to agency interpretations on matters of law, overruling the Chevron decision. Read more about this decision and the three amicus briefs Holtzman Vogel filed for clients in support of the decision, in a recent update by Drew Ensign, Kenneth Daines and Gabriel Blacklock. #AppellateLaw #ConstitutionalLaw #AdministrativeLaw https://lnkd.in/en2vgwwj

Here is my alert on the long-awaited financial assurance/bonding rule released by the Department of Interior yesterday. The new rule substantially increases the ability of the Department of Interior to demand that offshore oil and gas lessees post supplemental bonds in the amount of the estimated decommissioning liability for their leases in order to produce oil and gas in federal waters. The proposed rule split the industry between the majors that supported the rule and the independent producers that uniformly opposed the rule. The oil and gas industry has been adjusting to a barrage of new regulations advanced by the Biden Administration - and the new rule is merely the latest new regulation to apply specifically to the oil and gas industry. The new rule will likely put additional pressure on independent producers and could divert capital away from investing in new production in the Gulf of Mexico. This seemingly arcane regulation has been the source of intense advocacy in Washington from both sides of the oil and gas industry and from environmental groups (who also supported the rule). Only time will tell if this ends the decade long debate on the topic. #offshore #oil
