The NAM intervened on behalf of the EPA to defend the EPA’s decision not to impose new Clean Air Act emissions limitations on hundreds of manufacturing facilities throughout the Midwest. In 2018, New York petitioned the EPA to force nine nearby states to impose stringent new air emissions restrictions on manufacturers and other facilities within their borders. The NAM filed coalition comments with the EPA that explained why the EPA should reject the petition, which it did in October of 2019. New York then sued the EPA to overturn the rejection. The NAM -- together with other impacted trade associations and individual companies -- intervened in the case to defend the EPA’s decision and to represent the interests of manufacturers in the litigation, filing an initial proof brief in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on March 5, 2020. Unfortunately, on July 14, 2020, the court vacated EPA's decision and remanded the petition back to EPA for further proceedings.
