From Climate Extra
White House regulatory officials’ new proposed update to cost-benefit review guidance contains several provisions that would solidify a robust social cost of carbon (SCC) metric used to calculate the benefits of policies that curb greenhouse gases, thus helping agencies to defend strong climate change rules.
EPA is urging a federal appellate court to consolidate two separate sets of cases brought by power industry groups challenging decisions implementing its coal combustion residual (CCR) rules, seeking to resume the litigation after the court suspended briefing as it weighed petitioners’ claims that one set of claims should be heard in district court.
EPA has agreed to an August deadline to complete its review of environmentalists’ 2017 petition calling on the agency to revise its effluent limits for concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), after the agency earlier this year announced it is conducting a new study to determine whether to strengthen the sector’s requirements.
EPA is seeking to dismiss on procedural grounds the novel suit brought by a synthetic rubber manufacturer challenging its denial of the company’s Information Quality Act (IQA) request to revise its Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) values that found high cancer risk from chloroprene, a study that is the basis for major regulatory and enforcement actions.
