The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs’ Jim Laity, a career staffer who leads the Natural Resources and Environment Branch, said yesterday his office is “actively working on thinking about the guidance” Trump gave in March.
With the Trump agenda focused on regulatory rollback, federal agencies haven’t yet issued rules that require valuations of carbon emissions, “although they are working on something coming in the not-too-distant future,” Laity told an audience attending the National Academy of Sciences’ seminar on valuing climate change impacts.
