Decision
Certiorari denied.
The U.S. Supreme Court denied a petition for writ of certiorari seeking review of the D.C. Circuit’s dismissal of petitions for review that challenged the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) denial in April 2022 of petitions requesting that the agency reconsider its 2009 finding under the Clean Air Act that the greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles contribute to climate change and thus endanger public health and welfare. The D.C. Circuit found that the petitioners lacked standing to challenge the denial of the petitions.

Petition For Writ Of Certiorari
Petition for writ of certiorari filed.
Two organizations that unsuccessfully challenged EPA’s denial of their petition to reconsider the 2009 endangerment finding for greenhouse gases from motor vehicles filed a petition for writ of certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court. The question presented by their petition was whether a consumer group challenging a federal agency action can establish the “injury in fact” element of standing with “an evidentiary showing that the policies mandated by that agency action have resulted in large increases in consumer prices in the places where they have been implemented.”
Summary
Challenge to EPA's denial of petitions for reconsideration of EPA’s 2009 Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act.
