摘要

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on May 28 denied the request for a stay submitted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on a district court ruling that halted use of the Nationwide Permit 12 (NWP 12) program for new oil and natural gas pipelines. The brief ruling on the stay request kept the appeal of the ruling on schedule, with initial briefs due in August and reply briefs due in September.
