FPA files comments on EPA's advance notice of proposed rulemaking: Regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act

摘要

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) in the Federal Register seeking public comment on potential regulation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) under the current Clean Air Act (CAA). The Notice was prompted by a Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts v. U.S. EPA, in which the Court held that GHGs were "air pollutants" under the Clean Air Act, and ordered the EPA to consider whether they endangered public health or the environment and should be regulated.
