North Dakota v. Environmental Protection Agency
Petition for certiorari denied on May 27, 2014
Issue: Whether the Eighth Circuit applied the incorrect standard of review and erred in upholding the Environmental Protection Agency’s assertion of authority to overrule the reasonable policy and technical decisions made by the state of North Dakota in its Visibility Program state implementation plan, contrary to the authority delegated to the state under the Clean Air Act, and in conflict with decisions of this Court and other federal courts of appeals establishing the division of federal-state jurisdiction under the Act.
