D.C. Circuit Lifted Abeyance in Challenge to 2016 Standards for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles. On December 6, 2021, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals granted petitioners’ motion to lift the abeyance in their case challenging the Obama administration’s 2016 standards for greenhouse gas emissions and fuel efficiency standards for medium- and heavy-duty engines and vehicles. The petitioners described their challenge as related to EPA’s “assertions in the Rule that individuals who modify certain vehicles and/or engines for off-road racing/competition purposes or that manufacturers of parts for these individuals and companies could be considered in violation of the Clean Air Act.” The petitioners asked that the abeyance be lifted and a briefing schedule set because there was no longer a reasonable prospect that they would settle the matter. EPA did not oppose the motion. 11/23/2021 Motion Download Unopposed motion to lift abeyance and set a briefing schedule filed by petitioner. 09/27/2021 Status Report Download Respondents' status report filed. 12/26/2019 Order Download Proceeding severed from Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association, Inc. v.
