II. Judicial Review 

Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA indicates 

which Federal Courts of Appeal have 

venue for petitions of review of final 

actions by the EPA. This section 

provides, in part, that ‘‘a petition for 

review of action of the Administrator in 

promulgating . . . any standard of 

performance or requirement under 

section [111] of [the CAA],’’ or any other 

‘‘nationally applicable’’ final action, 

‘‘may be filed only in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the District of 

Columbia.’’ The EPA has determined 

that its action denying the petition for 

reconsideration is nationally applicable 

for purposes of CAA section 307(b)(1) 

because the action directly relates to the 

Risk Management Program regulations 

promulgated under CAA section 112(r), 

which are nationally applicable 

requirements. Thus, any petition for 

review of the final letter denying the 

petition for reconsideration must be 

filed in the Court of Appeals for the 

District of Columbia Circuit on or before 

February 28, 2025. 

Michael S. Regan, 

Administrator.
