Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers v. Environmental Protection Agency

Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on June 24, 2013.

Docket No.12-1167
Op. BelowD.C. Cir.

Issue

(1) Whether engine manufacturers have standing under Article III because they demonstrated that the Clean Air Act's waiver for the fuel additive "E15" (15% ethanol/85% gasoline) will cause them injury in fact; (2) whether prudential standing is non-jurisdictional and therefore can be waived by a government agency"s (here, EPA"s) failure to raise it; and (3) whether, in assessing a regulated entity"s Article III standing to challenge regulatory action, an apparent "option" to comply with a statutory scheme should be viewed as coercive if use of the "option" is practically required.
