Understanding the Stay

The document argues that the Supreme Court's stay on the Clean Power Plan does not prohibit the EPA from continuing preparatory implementation work, nor does it automatically delay or 'toll' compliance deadlines.

• The EPA is permitted to continue work on implementation matters, such as the Federal Plan and Model Trading Rules proposed in October, despite the Clean Power Plan's requirements being unenforceable during the stay.
• The Supreme Court's stay does not mandate the delaying or 'tolling' of compliance deadlines; any such adjustments would likely be determined by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit after the stay is lifted.
