<> National Association of Manufacturers v. U.S. EPA - May 9. In the U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit, Case Nos. 13-1069 & 13-1071. The Panel said: "In 2013, EPA tightened the primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards, or NAAQS, for fine particulate matter. The National Association of Manufacturers and other industry groups challenge that decision. Consistent with the general principle that the Clean Air Act gives EPA substantial discretion in setting the NAAQS, we deny the petitions for review.
