EIA Emergency Survey Preliminary Injuction Hearing Canceled Yesterday
The preliminary injunction hearing for the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) emergency survey has been canceled. The hearing was scheduled to take place yesterday, but was postponed indefinitely.
The EIA emergency survey, which was issued last week, requires US oil and gas companies to provide detailed information about their operations. The survey was met with strong opposition from the industry, which argued that it was overly burdensome and would reveal sensitive business information.
The American Petroleum Institute (API), which represents the US oil and gas industry, filed a lawsuit against the EIA last week, seeking to block the survey. The API argued that the survey was not authorized by law and would violate the privacy of its members.
The EIA has defended the survey, arguing that it is necessary to gather information about the US oil and gas industry in order to make informed decisions about energy policy.
