American Petroleum Institute v. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation

American Petroleum Institute and American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers filed a lawsuit in a New York Supreme Court challenging the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC’s) regulations establishing a Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. The petitioners assert that adoption of the regulations was arbitrary and capricious, exceeded DEC’s authority, and failed to comply with the State Administrative Procedure Act’s requirements.
