Environmental Defense Fund v. Zeldin

The petitioners requested that the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals hold the case in abeyance while EPA considers final action on the remainder of its 2025 proposal to repeal reporting obligations for all sectors except the petroleum and natural gas sector and to suspend reporting in that sector for 10 years. EPA also requested that the abeyance continue while EPA considers the petition for administrative reconsideration that the petitioners and other organizations filed simultaneously with the protective petition.

Environmental Defense Fund and Environmental Integrity Project filed a protective petition for review challenging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) final action extending the reporting deadline under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule for 2025 to October 30, 2026.
