On August 17, a coalition led by the National Association of Manufacturers filed an appeal to the August 16 ruling, which suspended the Trump administration’s delay (RIN:2040–AF80) of the waters of the U.S. rule, or WOTUS. The EPA had delayed that regulation from taking effect until February 2020.
The manufacturers group is joined in the litigation by a range of other industry associations, including the American Farm Bureau Federation, the American Petroleum Institute, and the National Pork Producers Council.
The case is S. C. Coastal Conservation League v. Pruitt, D.S.C., No. 18-cv-00330, 8/17/18. (Bloomberg BNA, 8/20/18)
