NAM FILES PETITION AGAINST EPA ENDANGERMENT
February 23, 2010 - NAM
Leading a broad coalition of business groups, the NAM on Feb. 16 filed a petition in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s process in which it finds that greenhouse gas emissions justify an endangerment finding under the Clean Air Act. (News release, petition for review.) This is litigation focused on the EPA’s process, not the increasingly challenged quality of the underlying science upon which the agency relied.
We are challenging EPA’s ‘Endangerment Finding’ determination and focusing on whether they asked the right questions, sought the right information and whether they are meeting their burden under the standards set forth in the Clean Air Act. If EPA moves forward and begins regulating stationary sources, it will open the door for them to regulate everything from industrial facilities to farms to even American homes. Such a move would further complicate a permitting process that EPA is not equipped to handle, while increasing costs to the manufacturing sector. These costly burdens and uncertainty will stifle job creation and harm our competiveness in a global economy.
Joining the NAM on the petition are the American Petroleum Institute (API), the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association (NPRA), the National Association of Home Builders, the Corn Refiners Association, the Brick Industry Association, the Western States Petroleum Association and the National Oilseed Processors Association. For the moment, the coalition is not revealing its litigation strategy. Meanwhile, many other lawsuits and petitions were filed last week to meet the deadline.
