September 22, 2010 – FLAG Weekly Communications

(Motion available here.) The NAM’s action is supported by a broad coalition of groups representing business, industry, energy and agriculture.

(Listed here as the “movants” in the NAM’s statement of issues filed with the court). NAM President John Engler makes the economic case in a news release from the NAM:
If the EPA moves forward and begins regulating stationary sources, it will open the door for the Agency to regulate everything from industrial facilities to farms to even American homes. Such a move would further complicate a permitting process the EPA is not equipped to handle, while increasing costs to the manufacturing sector. Further, the EPA has not done any required analysis of the impact of these rules, and its actions will harm our economic recovery at a time when we desperately need jobs.”
Our nation continues to face an unemployment rate of 9.6 percent. If the EPA is allowed to continue forward with an overreaching agenda that puts additional and unnecessary burdens on manufacturers and drives up energy costs, it will cause economic harm and instill even more uncertainty into our already fragile economy. These actions will destroy jobs.
