Petitioners Challenged EPA Denial of Reconsideration of 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding. Two petitions were filed in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals seeking review of 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 (2009 Endangerment Finding). EPA denied four petitions regarding the 2009 Endangerment Finding in April 2022, after initially denying them on January 19, 2021 “with a very brief discussion” and subsequently withdrawing that denial. In the April 2022 denial, EPA explained its conclusion that the petitioners “have provided inadequate, erroneous, and deficient arguments and evidence for their assertions that the underlying science supporting the 2009 Endangerment Finding is flawed, misinterpreted, or inappropriately applied by EPA.” EPA also disagreed that reconsideration was warranted due to procedural deficiencies. The D.C. Circuit proceedings were brought by the submitters of two of the reconsideration petitions. -
