The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) is troubled by the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) aggressive agenda and policy overreach to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and the significant impact its actions will have on manufacturers in the United States. The EPA's actions will add new burdens and restrictions, increase costs, destroy jobs and undermine manufacturers' ability to compete in the global marketplace.

To protect manufacturers, the NAM is challenging the EPA's new regulations in federal court and through the legislative process. Here you will find resources on the EPA's actions aimed at establishing its authority to regulate greenhouse gases — from the Johnson memo and the endangerment finding to the tailpipe rule and the tailoring rule — and information on the NAM's efforts to oppose these measures and preserve manufacturers' competitiveness.

The NAM is committed to working with Congress to establish energy policies that assist in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, while at the same time ensuring a reliable source of low-cost energy. It is critical to do so in a way that does not put manufacturers in the United States at a competitive disadvantage.
