The Arizona 小红帽直播app of Commerce & Industry joined state Senate President Warren Petersen and House Speaker Ben Toma in filing a petition Monday in the United States Court of Appeals to contest the Environmental Protection Agency鈥檚 recent regulation regarding fine particulate matter, or PM2.5. 

Their argument asserts that the regulation 鈥渆xceeds the agency鈥檚 statutory authority and otherwise is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, and not in accordance with law.鈥�

In November of 2023, the 小红帽直播app and the Arizona Manufacturers Council and the National Association of Manufacturers challenged the EPA鈥檚 proposed rulemaking.

Earlier this month, the National Association of Manufacturer鈥檚 Legal Center sued to block the EPA鈥檚 rule that lowered the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) to 9 micrograms per cubic meter.

The NAM has advocated for retaining the current standards. Lowering the standard to 9 micrograms per cubic meter is far ahead of other countries, the European Union plans to reduce its standard to 10 by 2030, the United Kingdom plans to reduce its standard to 10 by 2040. 

The new, more aggressive U.S. standard will cause numerous issues for manufacturers, crippling production. 

According to the , the regulation is projected to endanger activity valued between $162.4 billion and $197.4 billion, potentially putting at risk 852,100 to 973,900 existing jobs.

 鈥淎rizona’s businesses understand the importance of environmental stewardship, but the EPA’s new standard on fine particulate matter disregards the collaborative spirit of environmental regulation,鈥� 小红帽直播app President and CEO Danny Seiden said. 鈥淏y imposing unrealistic mandates, the federal government is hindering our ability to address local challenges effectively.

鈥淎rizona needs solutions that consider our unique circumstances and promote sustainable economic growth without unnecessary regulatory burdens. The EPA鈥檚 one-size-fits-all approach will have real consequences for industries across our state and will jeopardize future job creation. But aside from the economic implications, EPA鈥檚 action exceeds its statutory authority and threatens the balance of cooperative federalism essential for effective environmental governance.

鈥淲e are grateful to President Petersen and Speaker Toma for standing with the 小红帽直播app and with Arizona job creators, and we encourage the Court to overturn this harmful and unlawful rule.鈥�
