EPA’s call for companies to seek presidential waivers from nine Biden-era air toxics rules that could run for the duration of President Donald Trump’s term is spurring alarm among environmentalists who charge the plan is unlawful because many facilities have already installed the required controls and compliance with the rules poses no security risk.

From Inside TSCA
The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) is calling on the 5th Circuit to lift its stay of pending legal challenges to EPA’s TSCA risk management rule on chrysotile asbestos, noting the court has reversed a similar pause on litigation over the methylene chloride rule and is urging the court to combine oral arguments for both cases.
The Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) is floating recommendations for how Congress can legislate more effectively after the Supreme Court’s Loper Bright decision curbed deference to agencies’ statutory interpretations, including expanded resources for lawmakers to write clear laws and boost their ability to work with agencies on statutory updates.
From Climate Extra
EPA says the underlying structure of a $14 billion “green bank” program blocks the agency from conducting sufficient oversight and therefore required that EPA terminate awards under the program, as Trump officials urge a district court to reject grant recipients’ call for an injunction to release the halted funds.
EPA is again asking a federal appeals court to stay litigation brought by industry and environmentalists against its Biden-era air rule that tightened limits on ethylene oxide (EtO) used in commercial sterilization and fumigation operations, seeking to voluntarily remand the rule while it reconsiders and likely weakens or scraps the regulation.
