The administration said the regulations are part of President Obama's promise to develop the nation's oil and gas resources in a manner that protects the environment and the public health.
"The standards are practice, flexible, affordable and achievable," Gina McCarthy, an assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Air and Radiation, said on a conference call with
