What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Closing Loopholes for Oil and other Sources of Emissions Act" or the "CLOSE Act," seeks to amend the Clean Air Act. It specifically aims to eliminate the current exemption for the aggregation of emissions from oil and gas sources. Additionally, the bill directs the Environmental Protection Agency Administrator to take specific actions regarding hydrogen sulfide. This includes adding hydrogen sulfide to the list of hazardous air pollutants. Finally, the bill requires revising certain lists to include specific categories of sources like oil and gas wells.
