Court blocks EPA from easing pollution rules
Appeals panel: White House-backed change violates Clean Air Act
Friday, March 17, 2006; Posted: 6:38 p.m. EST (23:38 GMT)
ALBANY, New York (AP) -- A federal appeals court blocked the Environmental Protection Agency on Friday from easing clean-air rules on aging power plants, refineries and factories, one of the regulatory changes that had been among the White House's environmental priorities.
The rules, strongly supported by industry representatives, would have allowed older plants to modernize without having to install advanced pollution controls.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington declared that the EPA rules violate the Clean Air Act and that only Congress can authorize such changes.
