American Forest & Paper Association, et al. v. EPA

Boiler MACT Rules

NCLC's Position

NCLC, as part of a broad coalition of 16 trade associations, challenged costly new rules that would require industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers and process heaters to use "maximum achievable control technology" to reduce emissions. The rules would affect a diverse range of business interests, and cost tens of billions of dollars to implement. NCLC warned that a stay is required to prevent businesses from making potentially unnecessary investments while the rules are being reconsidered.
