American Chemistry Council, Chamber of Commerce, et al. v. EPA (Risk Management Program)

Case Updates

The D.C. Circuit granted abeyance pending EPA's reconsideration of the Risk Management Program rule.

The U.S. Chamber, as part of the RMP Coalition, filed a petition for review urging the D.C. Circuit to review a final rule issued by the EPA titled Accidental Release Prevention Requirements: Risk Management Programs Under the Clean Air Act, 82 Fed. Reg. 4594 (Jan. 13, 2017). The petition for review urges the final rule to be sat aside because it is "unlawful, arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and not otherwise in accordance with law."

The coalition consists of the U.S. Chamber, American Chemistry Council, American Forest & Paper Association, American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, American Petroleum Institute, National Association of Manufacturers, and Utitility Air Regulatory Group.

Catherine E. Stetson, Justin A. Savage, Sean Marotta, and Erin H. Ward served as co-counsel for the coalition.
