• concluding that, even though EPA “guidance” briefly “an-tieipate[d] and acknowledge[d]” flexibility in the application of its policies, “that d[id] not undermine the binding force of the Guidance Document in standard cases”
• finding that an EPA risk assessment document was a legislative rule, “because on its face it purports to bind both applicants and the Agency with the force of law”
• determining that EPA guidance facially purported to apply to both regulated entities as well as the agency itself
• determining that an agency violated the APA by issuing a binding agency pronouncement without first complying with the notice-and-comment requirements
• requiring notice and comment procedures for a guidance document to have the force of law
• finding a challenge to agency action ripe where “nothing would be gained by delaying review”
