Industry Urges Court To Rehear Vacatur Of EPA Cap-And-Trade Provisions

摘要

DuPont is urging a federal appeals court to rehear a ruling that vacated portions of an EPA cap-and-trade program to reduce ozone-depleting substances, claiming that the ruling will unfairly shift credits away from those companies like DuPont that did not sue over the program and give the credits to companies that filed the original lawsuit.rnThe company Oct. 18 filed a proposed petition for the three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit or the full court to rehear the panel's Aug. 27 ruling in Arkema Inc. et, al. v EPA that vacated portions of EPA's trading rule for hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), which are refrigerants used in products like air conditioners.
