Hello, carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere
HAIR, The Broadway Musical
A Federal Court of Appeals ruled against several states and state regulatory agencies, together with corporations and industrial associations, who petitioned for review of the Environmental Protection Agency’s rule entitled “Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Sulfur Dioxide,” and of the subsequent denial of their petitions for reconsideration of the standard.
The petitioners contended, first, that EPA failed to follow notice-and-comment rulemaking [ 75 Fed. Reg. 35520 ] procedures, and second, that the agency arbitrarily set the maximum sulfur dioxide (SO2) concentration at a level lower than statutorily authorized. National Environmental Development v. EPA, No. 10-1252, (Cir Ct App DC) Decided July 20, 2012
