Environmental Defense v. Duke Energy:
Navigating the New Order

Date: TBD
Time: 2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. (ET)

The long-running disputes over enforcement of the Clean Air Act’s New Source Review program were finally aired in the U.S. Supreme Court, but were they really resolved?  The court’s March XX opinion in Environmental Defense v. Duke Energy likely will impact issues of jurisdiction to challenge agency actions, the government’s ability to “interpret” regulations outside of rulemakings, construction planning by facility owners, and enforcement actions.

Join BNA and Sidley Austin LLP in a lively discussion with four respected experts who will provide their insight and analysis on the outcome, impact, and unanswered questions of Environmental Defense v. Duke Energy:

• Adam Kushner—Director, Air Enforcement Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
• Richard Lazarus—Professor, Georgetown University Law Center
• Carter Phillips—Managing Partner, Sidley Austin LLP (argued for Duke Energy before the Supreme Court)
• Kathryn Thomson—Partner, Sidley Austin LLP

BNA's informative 90-minute presentation is designed to help you:

• Understand the U.S. Supreme Court's decision and how it may be interpreted by lower courts and EPA;
• Determine how the decision will affect ongoing and future NSR enforcement;
• Consider whether congressional action or agency rulemaking is likely to occur in the wake of the Supreme Court decision; and
• Evaluate the extent to which the court's ruling will impact areas outside of powerplant regulation.

In addition, you'll have the opportunity to get answers to your own specific questions during the audioconference. Send questions any time before or during the audioconference to kfetherston@bna.com.
