Order issued transferring case to D.C. Circuit.
The Fifth Circuit transferred a case brought by Texas challenging a final rule by EPA, referred to as the “SIP Call,” requiring states to adopt laws and regulations allowing them to issue permits to new and modified stationary sources for greenhouse gas emissions. In deciding the transfer the case to the D.C. Circuit, the court held that centralized review of national issues was preferable and that Texas did not convincingly argue that the Fifth Circuit should hear the case because the state was challenging a local aspect of the rule.
