You seem to be confused, the data isn't being deleted so that no one else can consume it. It is just being annotated to be excluded from the EPA's evaluation of whether stricter pollution controls than already implemented are necessary.

> whether stricter pollution controls than already implemented are necessary

in which case this seems to posit that measures to reduce human causes of wildfires are not valid pollution control measures?

No, it's positing that valid pollution control measures don't reduce human caused wildfires. These specific valid pollution control measures are just restrictions on industrial emissions, not "all conceivable pollution controls".
