EPA Claims Industry Seeking To 'Derail' Ozone NAAQS Reconsideration

摘要

EPA is charging that industry is trying to "derail" the agency's reconsideration of a stricter Bush-era ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) by asking a federal appeals court to proceed with briefing in a lawsuit challenging the standard.rnThe agency in a Nov. 10 filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit claims that industry wants to push ahead with briefing in a suit challenging the standard due to industry's fear that EPA may conclude its reconsideration of the NAAQS by determining an even stricter standard is necessary.
