On reconsideration, motion to dismiss granted.
On reconsideration, the Ninth Circuit ruled that the EPA administrator's letter to the California governor indicating that EPA would deny the request for a waiver of preemption was not a reviewable final action. The court therefore dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
