American Petroleum Institute v. EPA   (D.C. Circuit)

Challenging EPA greenhouse gas regulation (light-duty vehicles and CAFÉ standards)

The NAM and other organizations filed another petition to review an EPA action that is part of its suite of regulations of greenhouse gases from stationary sources. One of our initial suits in this series challenged the EPA's effort to regulate light-duty vehicles, because the agency used that rule as a predicate for further regulation of manufacturing facilities. We challenged this latest rule, published Oct. 15, 2012, as well. The case was consolidated with Plant Oil Powered Diesel Fuel Systems, Inc. v. EPA (No. 12-1428, D.C. Cir.), but that case was voluntarily dismissed, and our challenge was severed and held in abeyance pending a decision from the Supreme Court in UARG v. EPA. After that ruling, we stipulated a dismissal of this case.
