The thing that sets me off is this "PUBLIC COMMENT'part. I work with a lot of state govt regulations and when they decide to change a reg they always have public comment. It's a joke. It doen't make a darn bit of difference how much or what kind of comment they get the regs always go through just as planned no matter how much we object. Not only that, in the past they have made the changes retroactive so that you are now out of compliance.
I have always thought the EPA was an organization that made regs so they could levy fines to collect so they could pay people to make more regs.
Go figure.

I think you pretty much got it right on that one. The bottom line seems to always be money. How can they get it and how much can they get.
