About the Flare Task Force Stakeholder Group
The Flare Task Force Stakeholder Group is an open participation stakeholder group; therefore, anyone who wishes to join the group may attend the meetings.
The goal of the group is to seek stakeholder input on issues related to all aspects of flares. Some potential issues may include flare performance, flare operation, and flare regulation.
While the immediate focus of the group will be related to information being evaluated by the Flare Task Force, the stakeholder group will be maintained to help keep stakeholders informed and solicit comments on potential future agency actions related to flares.
