Since 199

196 out of 2000) pursuantt to these proograms weree
promulgaated late, by an average of 2,072 day

Currently

In addiition, the ressults demonsstrate the inssidiousness oof a
practice known
k
as sue and settlee, whereby the EPA advvances the aagenda of envvironmentall

Since 199
93, the EPA
A has promulgated 200 fin
nal regulatioons pursuantt to these thrree programss. Of
these 200
0 regulationss, only four
a mere 2 percentwerre promulgaated on or before their
statutorilly defined deeadlines. On average, thee late regulattions were ppromulgated 2,072 days after
the statuttory deadlinee. The probleem persists. Currently, 665 percent off the EPAs statutorily
defined responsibiliti
r
ies for these programs
212 of 322 possibleaare past-due. The averagee
outstandiing deadline is 2,147 day
ys late as of July 6, 20133

This matters for three important reasons:

It calls into question the EPAs competence. These three programs comprise the core of
the regulatory regime established by the Clean Air Act. For more than two decades, the EPA has
failed to meet its congressionally delegated responsibilities for these foundational Clean Air Act
programs by a wide margin. This has been the case under both Republican and Democratic
administrations. Why has this failure been allowed to persist?
It calls into question EPAs discretionary exercises of power. Since 2009, despite the
EPAs persistent failure to meet non-discretionary deadlinesthat is, deadlines that have been
codified in the statutethe agency has taken on enormous new discretionary regulatory
responsibilities pursuant to the Clean Air Act as a result of its unilateral decision to regulate
greenhouse gases as pollutants.4 Indeed, in every Unified Regulatory Agenda since 2010, EPA
has listed climate change policy as its first guiding priority.5 Why is the EPA giving priority to
duties chosen by unelected bureaucrats, rather than responsibilities assigned by elected
representatives?
It exposes the insidiousness of sue and settle. Sue and settle refers to friendly
lawsuits filed by environmental advocacy organizations against the EPA that lead to collusive
policymaking.6 The basis of the preponderance of such lawsuits is the agencys alleged failure to
meet a particular Clean Air Act deadline. Instead of litigating, the agency agrees to enter directly
into settlement negotiations with these groups in order to establish when the agency will meet its
past due responsibilities.
Some commentators have questioned whether sue and settle causes any harm by asking: What
could be inappropriate about negotiating a Clean Air Act deadline?7 Here is an answer: If the
EPA is out of compliance with virtually all its deadlinesas shown by this reportthen clearly
the agency has limited resources relative to its responsibilities. As a result, establishing any
deadline determines how the EPA deploys its limited resources, which is no different than
rendering policy. This is troubling.
Sweetheart lawsuits are enabling secret policy negotiations between unelected bureaucrats and
environmental lawyers. If the EPA wants to give priority to its many outstanding responsibilities,
it should do so in cooperation with the states, which have to actually implement these
regulations, rather than the likes of environmental special interests like the Sierra Club, Natural
Resources Defense Council, or Center for Biological Diversity.8
Notes

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) are the foundational regulatory program of the Clean Air Act.
There are six NAAQSfor carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, particulate matter, ozone, and sulfur dioxide
established at levels requisite to protect public health, with an adequate margin of safety. Section 109(d)(1) of the
Clean Air Act requires the EPA administrator to complete a thorough review of National Ambient Air Quality
Standards, and revise them if necessary, every five years.
2
The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) in its current form was amended to the
Clean Air Act in 1990. The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments established a thorough schedule by which the program
was to be implemented. Not a single NESHAP was promulgated on time pursuant to section 112(d)(4) criteria for
major and area sources and section 112(d)(5) alternative criteria for area sources. For all major sources, the EPA is


required by Clean Air Act section 112(f)(2) to conduct a residual risk review within eight years of the promulgation
of the NESHAP. For both major and area sources, section 112(d)(6) requires the agency to review the NESHAP
standards every eight years.
3
The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) program establishes emissions limits for new, major stationary
sources. Pursuant to Clean Air Act section 111(b)(1)(B), EPA is required to review NSPS every 8 years.

8
The EPA has actually litigated to prevent state and local officials from intervening in negotiations to establish
deadlines pursuant to a Clean Air Act lawsuit. See section two of William Yeatman, Environmental Protection
