Statement of Clean Air Task Force on today’s filed brief in opposition to Supreme Court review of the ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals, American Lung Ass’n v. EPA , 985 F.3d 914 (D.C. Cir. 2021)

The Clean Air Task Force (CATF) supports a brief filed by sixteen organizations opposing Supreme Court review of the D.C. Circuit's decision to vacate the 2019 Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule. The ACE Rule was found to have unlawfully restricted federal authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal- and gas-fired power plants. The opposition argues that because the ACE rule is defunct and the Biden Administration has not yet issued a replacement, there is no active dispute or existing rule for the Court to review, making requests for review by coal states and mining companies premature.

• The U.S. Court of Appeals found that the Trump Administration's 2019 Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule was unlawful because it restricted the federal government's capacity to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from existing gas- and coal-fired power plants.
• Sixteen organizations argue that Supreme Court review is inappropriate because there is currently no active regulation in place, as the ACE rule was thrown out and the Biden Administration has not yet proposed a replacement.
