Oil and Gas Industry Groups Sue Interior Over Fracking Rule, Say It's Duplicative

摘要

The oil and gas industry wasted no time in taking action against the final rule governing hydraulic fracturing announced by Interior Secretary Sally Jewell March 20, with two trade associations filing suit in federal court within moments of the announcement (In-dep. Petroleum Ass'n of Am. v. Jewell, D. Wyo., No. 15-CV-41, 3/20/15). The lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming is being brought under the Administrative Procedure Act.
