Following are my comments which I posted on Fox News Blog:

It is amazing that the EPA refused to commence rule making. Must be the election cycle. In my 20 years of dealing with the EPA I have never found them to be reasonable or concerned with the limits of their power. They have not shown a great deal of knowledge. I remember an incident were they were trying to fine Arkansas for not controlling lead levels in NE AR streams. When Ar pointed out that the streams in question drained off of the largest known deposits of lead, they could not comphrend that the lead could be naturally occuring.

My main point is, this is an election year and the Administration does not want to create additional controversy which will cause an increase in vote against the Administration. The issue is NOT DEAD.
