(Reuters) -U.S. Congress members from both political parties have been urging the Environmental Protection Agency not to propose a rule that would require farms to report on air emissions from animal waste, according to a letter seen by Reuters. The EPA is soliciting public comment on whether it should revoke or amend a rule from former President Donald Trump's administration that exempts animal manure from an environmental statute requiring industry to report chemical releases for the purpose of community information. Environmental groups want EPA to revoke the rule, saying pollution from animal waste is sickening people in rural communities.
