The #EndangermentFinding dates to 2009, when the #EPA concluded that planet-warming #GreenhouseGases pose a threat to #PublicHealth & so should be regulated under the #CleanAirAct. The #Obama & #Biden admins used that determination to set strict limits on greenhouse gas #emissions from cars, power plants & other industrial sources of #pollution.

But in July, the #Trump admin proposed to rescind the finding & contended that subsequent research had “cast significant doubt” on its accuracy.

The Trump administration has allowed at least three California facilities—owned by Sterigenics—to bypass key Clean Air Act rules and emit ethylene oxide, a carcinogenic gas used in medical sterilization, simply by emailing for an exemption. The EPA cites national security and lack of technology as reasons, but over 340 facilities nationwide have sought similar waivers. Environmentalists warn exemptions put Americans at risk, as even short-term EtO exposure causes serious health issues, while long-term exposure is linked to cancer. How far will deregulation go?

"The proposed EPA rule would rescind a 2009 declaration that determined that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare."

…environmental groups, #legal experts & #Democrats said any attempt to repeal or roll back the #endangerment finding would be an uphill task with slim chance of success. The finding came 2 years after a 2007 #SCOTUS ruling holding that the #EPA has authority to regulate #GreenhouseGases as #AirPollutants under the #CleanAirAct.

The “endangerment finding” is the #legal underpinning of a host of #climate #regulations under the #CleanAirAct for motor vehicles, power plants & other #pollution sources that are heating the #planet.

#EPA Administrator #LeeZeldin announced the proposed rule change on a podcast ahead of an official announcement set for Tues in Indiana.

Repealing the #endangerment finding “will be the largest deregulatory action in the history of America,” Zeldin said on the Ruthless podcast.

Joseph Goffman, who led the #air office at the #EPA under the #Biden admin, said the rule would all but certainly face #legal challenges if it is finalized.

He said the #Trump admin’s proposed rule conflicts w/the 2007 #SCOTUS ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA, a landmark case that found for the first time that #GreenhouseGases were a #pollutant under the #CleanAirAct. That led the EPA to make the finding in 2009 that said that 6 greenhouse gases were harming #PublicHealth.

In calling to repeal the #endangerment finding, the draft #EPA rule does not appear to focus on the #science or try to make the case that #FossilFuels aren’t warming the planet.

Instead, it argues that the #EPA overstepped its #legal #authority under the #CleanAirAct by making a broad finding that #GreenhouseGas #emissions endanger the public welfare. It makes the case that the EPA administrator has limited power that apply only to specific circumstances.
