Preliminary review indicates that EPA has heard and understood comments and arguments from forest industries and other forest users, urging recognition of biogenic sources, particularly forests, capacity to reabsorb and store carbon in a way to offer significant support to the administration’s greenhouse gas management goals.

 

More detailed study and consultation on the framework will be necessary to determine what kind of obstacles remain in assuring development of a practical policy that can co-exist with forest product manufacturing.
