EPA Climate Change ANPR Released
On Friday, July 11, the Environmental Protection Agency released an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“ANPR”) seeking comment on a large number of issues concerning regulation of greenhouse gas emissions (“GHGs”) under the Clean Air Act (“CAA”). The ANPR was ostensibly issued in response to the mandate of the U.S. Supreme Court in Massachusetts v. EPA, in which the Court held that carbon dioxide (“CO2”) is a regulated pollutant for purposes of the mobile source provisions of the CAA and that EPA is required to make a determination as to whether emissions of CO2 from mobile sources endanger human health or the environment.
Mr. Holtkamp is the Manager of the Environmental Compliance Group and the Global Climate Change Group at Holland & Hart and resident in the Firm’s Salt Lake City office.
