American Chemistry Council v. EPA
(U.S. Supreme Court)
Whether EPA greenhouse gas regulation for motor vehicles triggers limits on stationary sources of GHG emissions
On April 18, 2013, the NAM and 23 other business organizations appealed to the Supreme Court to review an adverse decision on greenhouse gas regulation from the D.C. Circuit. We asked the Court to review EPA's first-ever regulations of greenhouse gases emitted by stationary sources, such as power plants and factories. The lower court rejected lawsuits from hundreds of organizations who question EPA's authority to issue the rules under the Clean Air Act, as well as the procedures it used in doing so. Our petition was granted and consolidated into Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA. On June 23, 2014, the Supreme Court agreed with the NAM and ruled that EPA's regulation went too far.
