EPA Regulations to Reduce Cross-State Air Pollution Vacated Again
In their Domestic Environmental Law column, Christine A. Fazio, a partner at Carter Ledyard & Milburn, and Ethan I. Strell, a senior associate at the firm, write that, in a 2-1 decision, the D.C. Circuit held that EPA exceeded its statutory authority in adopting the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule because (a) the rule would require some upwind states to reduce emissions by more than the states' contribution to air quality exceedances in downwind states, and (b) the rule denied states the first opportunity to develop regulations to address precursors to ozone and fine particulate emissions in neighboring states prior to EPA's imposing plans on each state.Proposed Regulations Would Limit Power Plant Greenhouse Gas Emissions
In their Domestic Environmental Law column, Christine A. Fazio, a partner at Carter Ledyard & Milburn, and Ethan I.

In his International Environmental Law column, Stephen L. Kass, a partner at Carter Ledyard & Milburn, writes: Despite the corporate support for the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea by the oil and gas industry, shipping firms and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, opposition among Republican senators to any form of new international agreement threatens to derail ratification at a time when the marine environment is under extreme and potentially irreversible stress, with the most profound implications for mankind.Small and midsize firms find safety in numbers
