For 92 percent of requests from green groups, the EPA cooperated by waiving fees for the information. Those requests came from the Natural Resources Defense Council, EarthJustice, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, The Waterkeeper Alliance, Greenpeace, Southern Environmental Law Center and the Center for Biological Diversity.
Of the requests that were denied, the EPA said the group either didn’t respond to requests for justification of a waiver, or didn’t express intent to disseminate the information to the general public, according to documents obtained by The Washington Examiner.
CEI, on the other hand, had its requests denied 93 percent of the time. One request was denied because CEI failed to express its intent to disseminate the information to the general public. The rest were denied because the agency said CEI “failed to demonstrate that the release of the information requested significantly increases the public understanding of government operations or activities.”

We need to keep a relentless drumbeat of these incidents going, right up to the election.
“The rest were denied because the agency said CEI “failed to demonstrate that the release of the information requested significantly increases the public understanding of government operations or activities.”
The person who wrote this needs to be tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail by an angry mob.
Now we’re talking! I want to see all of those commie piggies at the EPA go down. The thieving, lunatic bass turds.
I quite expect one will not have to dig too deeply (that is, if you can get a permit to dig) to find a scandal and abuse of power with these NAZI’s.

Evil Progress in America
Lets kill business clowns,all. Defund. Eliminate. Let them go find jobs in the nightmare they created.
what/who is CEI?
Ping.
Somebody, please, somebody step up an impeach our dear leader. He might not get thrown out of office, but at least the record will show he was impeached.
Clinton was impeached for offences far less then the offences this a$shole has committed.
I hate them.
We have great natural resources and could have climbed out of this rcession 4 years ago but they are obstructionist ideologue overpaid indolent assholes who deserve to go actually find a job in the web they’ve created.
F_ck them and feed them fishheads.
Your own title in violation of the forum’s rules - how creative!
Chill.
Your opponent(s) is external to FR.
I suffer from the same lash-out syndrome. Peace.
I can see why CEI was denied ...they use the term “limited”
What we don’t have, is a media that will acknowledge that we have a single major theme among these misdeeds and cover ups. Nor will they hold the ring leader accountable and I fully expect the Corruption in Chief to sail through all of this unscathed.
Competitive Enterprise Institute urged the GOP to block Obama’s appointee, Gina McCarthy (who appears to be another ‘Janet’) while, for example, the Southern Environmental Law Center has a National Public Radio squib on its site, as well as an anti-fracking article.
So in the eyes of the king’s creatures, CEI: bad. SELC: Good!
It’s just more top-down, vindictive ‘reward your friends, punish your enemies’ BS from this politically corrupt administration and its hired hands, who apparently seem to think they are running their own businesses.
You put up an article no one should have to go searching the damn internet to find out what your stinking abbreviations are!
******************************************************
The article starts out explaining what the initials CEI stand for. Didn’t you click on the Washington Examiner link?
Also, in light of all these scandals let there be no mystery why the XL Keystone Pipeline STILL has not been approved.
You put up an article no one should have to go searching the damn internet to find out what your stinking abbreviations are!
It’s in the first paragraph of the story.
Chill out.
