Clean Air Council v. Pruitt

摘要

Environmental Protection Agency imposition of stay of rule issued under Clean Air Act establishing new source performance standards for fugitive methane emissions from oil and natural gas industries is final agency action subject to judicial review, because, even though EPA determination that under Section 307(d)(7)(B) of act it must reconsider rule does not require change of rule and is not final agency action: (1) EPA decision to issue stay suspends rule's compliance deadlines and marks consummation of agency's decisionmaking process, and (2) stay affects regulated parties' rights or obligations in relieving regulated parties of obligation to complete initial monitoring surveys and to repair leaks.
