the Environmental Protection Agency to withdraw a
proposed new greenhouse

a letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy asking
her to withdraw the proposed new Standards of
Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from

was unlawful. In addition,
they also noted the EPA’s
failure to comply with notice
and comment requirements.
