Petition for review filed.
Six petitions for review were filed in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals challenging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) final rule on “Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems: Procedures for Facilitating Compliance, Including Netting and Exemptions.” The rule implements the waste emissions charge in the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA’s) Methane Emission Reduction Program. Petitioners included trade associations of oil and natural gas producers; Texas and 22 other states; and other industry and business groups. Petitioners said they would show that the final rule exceeded EPA’s statutory authority and was arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and not in accordance with law.
