RMP Amendments may get another chance under a Biden Administration

Buckle up buttercup… the political winds in DC are shifting and with this comes “opportunities” – man how I hate politics!  For those of you who may have thought that the RMP Amendments from the final year of the President Obama administration were long gone – THINK AGAIN!  On Friday (12/4/20), the U.S. Court of Appeals – D.C. Circuit granted a request by environmentalists, NY, OR, RI, VT, IL, IA, WA, MD, and NM and some unions to continue to stay their appeal contesting EPA’s rule reversing many of the Obama administration RMP Amendments in the case Air Alliance Houston, et al. v. EPA “until at least March”.  Let’s see, the inauguration is on January 20, 2021, so this leaves the Biden administration 2.5 months to get their ducks in a row for this appeal.  Should they win the appeal, all of the Amendments are back in play and I have NO IDEA when businesses would be expected to be in compliance!
