October 30, 2020
The U.S. Chamber and business groups filed an amicus brief urging the Third Circuit to affirm a lower court ruling that recognized Congress specifically designated the Clean Air Act reporting requirements, not the CERCLA reporting requirements, to apply to hazardous air releases that are “subject to” the Clean Air Act’s requirements.
Greg A. Christianson, Geoffrey C. Rathgeber, and Jason A. Levine of Alston & Bird LLP and the U.S. Chamber’s Litigation Center served as co-counsel for the U.S. Chamber.
