- Title
NORTH CAROLINA V. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY.
- Authors
Kruse, Elizabeth
- Abstract
The article discusses the case of North Carolina v. the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). The CAIR program was challenged by North Carolina and electric utility companies and the court determined that EPA acted outside its statutory authority. It has been ruled that the CAIR trading program went beyond the mandate of the Clean Air Act. The court noted that EPA is only authorized to work toward the goal of prohibiting sources from contributing to nonattainment or interview with maintenance in other state. The court's decision will make it difficult for EPA to reformulate CAIR and regulate interstate pollution.
