This morning, the D.C. Circuit dismissed California, et al. v. EPA, a case challenging EPA's determination that the Obama-era #cleancars standards were no longer appropriate. For background on the case, see my blog: eelp.law.harvard.edu/wp-content/upl…
This case was interesting because the mid-term evaluation and final determination were unique features of the "National Program" created in 2012 to harmonize California and federal standards into one package of CAFE and GHG standards that extended out to 2025.
The mid-term evaluation was designed for regulators to examine & adjust the targets for 2022-2025, if needed, and determine whether the standards were still appropriate based on: Technical Assessment Report prepared by CA & EPA, feasibility, safety, cost, reducing emissions, etc.
