EPA Administrator Jackson to Face Lawsuit Over Failure to Respond to Administrative Petition, Proposed Settlement Agreement Reached

A proposed settlement agreement has been reached in a lawsuit filed by Louisiana Environmental Action Network and Concerned Citizens of Livingston Parish against EPA Administrator Jackson, alleging that he failed to respond to an administrative petition within the required 60 days, as mandated by the Clean Air Act. The lawsuit, filed in 2009, seeks to declare EPA's failure to respond as a violation of the Clean Air Act and order the agency to grant or deny the petition within 60 calendar days.
