Med. Advocates for Healthy Air v. EPA

摘要

Environmental groups lack standing to bring claims alleging Environmental Pro- tection Agency acted arbitrarily and capriciously in making nonattainment determination under Clean Air Act that two areas in California did not meet revoked one-hour ozone standard, because: (1) groups alleged EPA violated act in not relying upon its authority under Section 179(c) of act to make nonattainment determination, (2) groups did not demonstrate how compelling areas to implement attainment planning provisions triggered by finding under Section 179(c) would result in areas attaining standard more expeditiously than under California's current plan, and (3) judicial remedy requiring EPA to make determination under Section 179(c) would not redress groups' alleged health and aesthetic injuries.
