"DC Circuit Rebuffs Bid To Block EPA Chemical Emissions Crackdown"

"The agency’s challengers had tried to argue that the demise of the Chevron doctrine bolstered their claims."

"A federal appeals court has rejected a lawsuit from petrochemical manufacturers against an EPA rule that targets cancer-causing emissions from chemical plants.

In an opinion issued Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said Huntsman Petrochemical and other challengers had failed to show fault with EPA’s assessment that ethylene oxide emissions pose unacceptable risk to public health.

“EPA addressed and rejected petitioners’ arguments in detail, and petitioners fail to show that in doing so EPA acted arbitrarily, capriciously, or otherwise contrary to law,” Judge Brad Garcia, a Biden appointee, wrote for the unanimous court. “We therefore deny the petitions for review.”"
