      "title": "Federal/State Relations Under the Clean Air Act: The Supreme Court Takes Two Cases",
      "summary": "Recently, the Supreme Court agreed to hear two cases involving federalism issues under the\nClean\nAir Act (CAA). In  Alaska Dep't of Environmental Conservation v. EPA , the Court will\nwrestle with\nwhether EPA can enforce a Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) provision in the CAA\ncontrary to a prior state determination under its EPA-approved PSD program. In  Engine\nManufacturers Ass'n v. South Coast Air Quality Mgmt. Dist ., the issue is the preemptive scope\nof\nthe CAA program regulating mobile sources of air pollution. Why the Court has taken these cases\nis unclear, given that they present no constitutional issues but only narrow questions of statutory\nconstruction. Nor is there a direct split in the circuit courts. Perhaps the current Court's\ndemonstrated interest in federalism issues is part of the reason.",
