Six AGs Filed Motion to Intervene in Litigation Over EPA Cross-State Air Pollution Rule

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman led a coalition of five attorneys general in filing a motion to intervene in support of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Cross-State Air Pollution Update Rule, which “requires power plants in 22 states to significantly reduce smog pollution that blows into downwind states... and threatens public health.” The measure “has been challenged by fourteen energy corporations and upwind states seeking to overturn the rule.”
