II. Judicial Review
Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA indicates which Federal Courts of
Appeal have venue for petitions of review of final actions by the EPA.
This section provides, in part, that ``a petition for review of action
of the Administrator in promulgating . . . any standard of performance
or requirement under section [111] of [the CAA],'' or any other
``nationally applicable'' final action, ``may be filed only in the
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.'' The EPA
has determined that its action denying the petition for reconsideration
is nationally applicable for purposes of CAA section 307(b)(1) because
the action directly relates to the Risk Management Program regulations
promulgated under CAA section 112(r), which are nationally applicable
requirements. Thus, any petition for review of the final letter denying
the petition for reconsideration must be filed in the Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia Circuit on or before February 28, 2025.
Michael S. Regan,
Administrator.
