NONBINDING STATEMENT OF ISSUES OF

PETITIONER UTILITY AIR REGULATORY GROUP

Pursuant to the Court’s Order of January 8, 2010, Petitioner Utility Air 

Regulatory Group hereby submits this Nonbinding Statement of Issues to be raised 

in this proceeding to review the final action of respondent U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (“EPA” or “the Agency”) published at 74 Fed. Reg. 56,260 

(Oct. 30, 2009) entitled “Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases; Final Rule”

(“Final Rule”)

1. Whether EPA’s promulgation of the Final Rule violated the CAA or 

was otherwise unlawful because the Agency did not propose for comment various 

provisions in the Final Rule requiring the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting

of information and emissions data for electricity generation sources (Subpart D) 

and stationary fuel combustion sources (Subpart C).

2. Whether EPA’s promulgation of various provisions in the Final Rule 

requiring the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting of emissions data and other 

information for electricity generation sources (Subpart D) and stationary fuel 

combustion sources (Subpart C) was arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, 

or otherwise not in accordance with law.

3. Whether EPA’s promulgation of a requirement for electronic 

submission of annual reports “in a format specified by the Administrator” was 

arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with 

law.

Respectfully submitted,
