Trial to Inside EPA

The Supreme Court is rejecting calls from industry groups and Republican-led states to stay implementation of two major EPA rules -- methane limits for the oil and gas sector, as well as updated air toxics limits for certain coal plants -- while litigation over the measures proceeds in a lower court.

EPA is proposing deadlines for areas violating federal ozone limits that are reclassified to worsened nonattainment status, setting a default 18-month deadline for submission of revised state compliance plans and application of control measures, but eliminating some requirements including ‘contingency measures’ (CMs) tied to former attainment dates.

EPA is strongly opposing an effort by Louisiana to convince a federal judge to impose a nationwide bar preventing the agency from implementing its Civil Rights Title VI disparate-impact rules, arguing the state had not shown any injury in its request to expand the judge’s earlier order blocking the rule’s implementation only in the Pelican State.

From Climate Extra

Environmentalists are ramping up calls for automakers to formally commit to phasing out “pure” internal combustion vehicles by 2035 in states that have adopted California’s vehicle emissions standards, arguing this would boost certainty for ongoing electrification efforts ahead of possible legal or political reversals of key EPA or state rules.

Environmentalists are strongly criticizing EPA’s final rule governing pollution releases from ships, charging that the measure will not adequately protect the Great Lakes and other interior waters from invasive species and pollution though they stopped short of suing over the recently issued regulation.
