The Obama administration announced last Friday plans to tighten rules on fracking procedures and will require companies to disclose all the chemicals they use in the process.

The use of "fracking" has been one of the major reasons for the recent boom in energy production. It has reduced the nation's reliance on oil imports and significantly boosted production of natural gas. Along with the disclosure of chemicals used the new rules proposed will require companies to do additional testing on oil and gas wells before construction and force them to have a management plan for the fracking fluid they use. Companies have argued that disclosing what specific chemicals they use in their fracking process were trade secrets and disclosure would destroy any competitive advantage they have over the competition.
"This proposed rule will strengthen the requirements for hydraulic fracturing performed on federal and Indian lands in order to build public confidence and protect the health of American communities, while ensuring continued access to the important resources that make up our energy economy," the Interior Department said in a statement.
