ELR Citation: ELR 20494
No(s). 99-1325 (D.C. Cir. Mar 2, 2001)

The court amends an opinion that affirmed in part and remanded in part a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emission regulations for cement manufacturing. The amended opinion removes the argument that the Clean Air Act (CAA) §112(d)(2)(A) requirement that EPA consider pollution-reducing measures when it sets the maximum degree of achievable emission reduction reinforces the court's conclusion that CAA §112(d)(1) requires EPA to set emission levels for all HAPs, even those HAPs that are not controlled with technology.
