Petition for review filed.
Sierra Club filed a lawsuit challenging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) final Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule to the extent it codified former EPA Administrator Johnson's interpretive memo governing when pollutants become “subject to regulation” under the Clean Air Act. Sierra Club noted that it had intervened to defend other aspects of the rule in industry lawsuits challenging the final rule.
