EPA Actions on GHG Permitting Following the UARG Decision
As discussed in our client alert of June 24, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court in Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA (UARG) invalidated EPA’s greenhouse-gas (GHG) regulations to the extent those regulations required stationary sources to obtain Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and/or Title V major source permits based solely on the source’s GHG emissions (termed "non-anyway" sources). On July 24, 2014, EPA issued a memorandum to the regional administrators outlining several next steps following the UARG decision.
