Chemical industry asks for blanket exemptions to Biden-era regulations

Two leading chemical industry groups have asked the Trump administration for blanket exemptions to certain Biden-era regulations for all polluters.

The American Chemistry Council and the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers requested that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) exempt all polluters from Biden-era rules that limit their emissions of toxic chemicals. 

Just because the trade and lobbying groups are requesting these exemptions, it does not necessarily mean President Trump will grant them.
