'Anybody got a real authority to cite on this one?
I notice that it's called a proposal... Proposals are submitted to the EPA all the time. That doesn't mean they're about to submit legislation.
So far as I know, the gov't is giving subsidies to help abate methane pollution and make energy from it, not adding compulsory fees.

The AgSTAR Program is a voluntary effort jointly sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the U.S. Department of Energy. The program encourages the use of methane recovery (biogas) technologies at the confined animal feeding operations that manage manure as liquids or slurries. These technologies reduce methane emissions while achieving other environmental benefits.
