Critics blast new Obama regs for fracking on federal lands . 
A new regulation announced Friday by the Obama administration -- requiring fracking companies who drill on federal lands to disclose what chemicals they use in the controversial process -- was blasted as "yet another attack on American jobs" by GOP lawmakers , who said the mandate could slow the U.S. energy boom . 
Brian Deese , a senior adviser to President Obama , said the rules for public lands could serve as a template that the oil and gas industry could adopt to help address the public 's concern about the health and safety of fracking . 
"Today 's proposed federal regulations on hydraulic fracturing represent yet another attack on American jobs by President Obama , and continue his attack on American-made energy ," said Rep. Steve Scalise , R-La . 
The final rule closely tracks a draft first proposed by the Obama administration in 2013 . 
"The Obama administration 's hydraulic fracturing rule is a solution in search of a problem ," said Thomas Pyle , president of the pro-industry Institute for Energy Research .
