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

extensive comments explaining that the Proposed Rule
was unlawful. In addition,
they also noted the EPA’s
failure to comply with notice
and comment requirements.
