CATF Statement on Pruitt Recusal Letter on CPP Rulemaking

The Clean Air Task Force and 10 other organizations, following 19 states and cities, have requested that EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt recuse himself from the rulemaking process to repeal the Clean Power Plan. The groups argue that Pruitt's public assertions that the repeal is a "done deal" demonstrate a "closed mind," effectively turning the public comment period, which runs until late April, into a "pro forma exercise."

• Clean Air Task Force and 10 other organizations, including the Appalachian Mountain Club, Clean Air Council, Clean Wisconsin, Conservation Law Foundation, and National Parks Conservation Association, have joined 19 states and cities in requesting that EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt recuse himself from the Clean Power Plan repeal process.
• The organizations argue that the public comment period for the repeal, which ends in late April, has become a meaningless exercise because Pruitt's public statements suggest the repeal is already decided.
