Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Inc. v. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Case No.: 21-1091
Issue:
Air PollutionTopic:
Clean Air Act
Updated: 3/31/2022
On November 8, 2019, after NHTSA and EPA issued the final SAFE Part One Rule, CBF filed an administration petition for reconsideration requesting that NHTSA reconsider and withdraw its action in the SAFE Part One Rule. CBF’s Petition identified procedural and substantive flaws with NHTSA’s Part One Rule. On January 19, 2021, the evening before the presidential inauguration, NHTSA denied our administrative Petition. On March 18, 2021, CBF filed a petition for review with the D.C. Circuit to preserve the right to challenge the denial. This case was dismissed voluntarily on March 31, 2022.
These cases are being handled by CBF’s current Director of Litigation Ariel Solaski.
