Ms. Wiggins:

Thank you for the opportunity to provide final comments to the Small Business Advocacy Review Panel—Oil and Natural Gas Sector New Source Performance Standards. We have expressed before, but it is worth reiterating that our association sincerely appreciates EPA’s work to listen to small businesses and small entity representatives to incorporate their concerns into the rulemaking process moving forward. As a representative of small businesses, the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers has an obligation to advocate for our clients when we see potentially negative regulatory burdens will make small businesses less competitive to larger competitors or worse make operations impossible due to regulatory requirements sized to larger companies. We fear without clear exception and a bifurcation of regulatory requirements for small operations, small business will be harmed.

Comments from Jason Modglin—Texas Alliance of Energy Producers to the Congressional Western Caucus Virtual Series

AUSTIN, Texas (Feb. 26, 2021)—Thank you, Chairman Newhouse, Congresswoman Cheney and Congressman Arrington for the invitation to be here.

My name is Jason Modglin. I serve as President of the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, a trade organization based in Texas representing over 2,600 individuals and member companies focused on advancing independent operators, particularly small and family-run operations, and the standards of the oil and gas industry. Texas is home for most of our members, but many have operations across the country. We represent the upstream segment of the oil and gas industry. We have a 90-year history as an association and many of our members are multi-generation oilfield. Part of the proud history of American oil and gas, that helped this country end two world wars, produce the fuels and feedstocks to power our economy and provide the innovation to meet the world’s energy demands.
