NASDA filed comments last week with EPA on its proposed Confined Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) Reporting Rule. The proposed rule stems from a settlement agreement between EPA and environmental groups, and would require CAFOs, regardless of whether the facilities discharge, to report information to EPA. In its comments, NASDA took issue with the rule, citing biosecurity concerns and concerns that EPA was overstepping its authority under the Clean Water Act. A copy of NASDA's comments is available here. (Staff Contact: Nathan Bowen)
