`
`cases should continue to be held in abeyance pending resolution of the
`
`forthcoming challenges to the United States Environmental Protection
`
`Agency’s final action entitled “California State Motor Vehicle Pollution
`
`Control Standards; Advanced Clean Car Program; Reconsideration of a
`
`Previous Withdrawal of a Waiver of Preemption,” 87 Fed. Reg. 14,332
`
`(March 14, 2022). Continued abeyance would promote judicial economy
`
`and comport with common sense: This proposed approach would have the
`
`Court consider the parties’ disputes in the context of a newly final agency
`
`action, not rescinded agency actions as Respondent-Intervenor States urge.
`
`And it would allow for the efficient resolution of any remaining issues, if
`
`necessary, upon the conclusion of that review.
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`These cases involve challenges to actions taken by the National
`
`Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Environmental
`
`Protection Agency (EPA) in September 2019. “The Safer Affordable Fuel-
`
`Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule Part One: One National Program,” 84 Fed.
`
`Reg. 51,310 (Sept. 27, 2019) (“the 2019 Actions”). Although the two
`
`
`motion to govern requesting abeyance of all issues, except as to the
`constitutional issue as to which AFPM supports the position taken in
`Respondent-Intervenor States’ motion to govern. See id.
`2
`
`
`
`USCA Case #19-1230 Document #1943207 Filed: 04/14/2022 Page 3 of 23
`
`agencies’ actions were finalized in the same Federal Register notice, each
`
`agency took its own separate and distinct actions. NHTSA promulgated a
`
`rule declaring certain state laws preempted under the Energy Policy and
`
`Conservation Act of 1975. Id. at 51,311. EPA’s action withdrew portions of
`
`a Clean Air Act Section 209(b) preemption waiver it had granted to
`
`California in 2013 for its zero-emission-vehicle and greenhouse gas
`
`emission standards, and announced an interpretation of Section 177 of the
`
`Clean Air Act that would prohibit other States from enforcing California’s
`
`greenhouse gas emission standards. Id. at 51,328, 51,350. State and Local
`
`Government Petitioners, Public Interest Petitioners, and Industry Petitioners
`
`challenged those NHTSA and EPA actions in this Court.
`
`On February 8, 2021, after merits briefing was complete but before oral
`
`argument was scheduled, the Court granted a motion filed by Federal
`
`Agency Respondents to hold these cases in abeyance pending the Federal
`
`Agency Respondents’ implementation of an Executive Order directing them
`
`to immediately review and potentially rescind or revise the 2019 Actions.
`
`Dkt. No. 1884115. This Court’s February 8, 2021 Order required the
`
`Federal Agency Respondents to file status reports at 90-day intervals, and to
`
`notify the Court and the parties within 7 days of any agency action resulting
`
`from their review of the 2019 Actions, or any determination that no action
`3
`
`
`
`USCA Case #19-1230 Document #1943207 Filed: 04/14/2022 Page 4 of 23
`
`will be taken. Id. This Court also directed the parties to file a motion or
`
`motions to govern further proceedings within 30 days of that notification.
`
`Id.
`
`NHTSA signed a repeal of its portion of the 2019 Actions on December
`
`21, 2021. “Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Preemption,” 86 Fed.
`
`Reg. 74,236 (Dec. 29, 2021).2 The Federal Agency Respondents filed a
`
`notice on December 27, 2021, informing the Court of the signature of the
`
`NHTSA action but indicating that EPA had not yet concluded its
`
`reconsideration. Dkt. No. 1928287. In January 2022, Petitioners,
`
`Respondents, and Respondent-Intervenor States Ohio et al. all filed motions
`
`to govern requesting the case continue to be held in abeyance. Dkt. Nos.
`
`1931687 (Ohio et al.), 1932370 (State and Local Gov’t Pet’rs), 1932382
`
`(Federal Agency Respondents). On February 9, 2022, the Court granted the
`
`parties’ request that the Court continue to hold the cases in abeyance. Dkt.
`
`No. 1934435. The Court directed the Federal Agency Respondents to notify
`
`
`2 See 86 Fed. Reg. at 74,238 (emphasizing that NHTSA’s “final rule
`repeals all aspects of [its] SAFE I Rule, both the codified regulatory text and
`the accompanying pronouncements about the scope of CAFE preemption”).
`No challenges to NHTSA’s 2021 repeal have been filed. All arguments in
`Respondent-Intervenor States’ motion to govern pertain only to EPA’s
`reconsideration rather than NHTSA’s separate action. The United States
`submits that, accordingly, challenges to NHTSA’s portion of the 2019
`Actions are moot.
`

`
`
`
`USCA Case #19-1230 Document #1943207 Filed: 04/14/2022 Page 5 of 23
`
`the Court and the other parties within seven days of EPA’s action, with
`
`motions to govern due within 30 days of that notification. Id.
`
`
`
`EPA signed a final agency action rescinding its portion of the 2019
`
`Actions on March 9, 2022, and that action was published in the Federal
`
`Register shortly thereafter. “California State Motor Vehicle Pollution
`
`Control Standards; Advanced Clean Car Program; Reconsideration of a
`
`Previous Withdrawal of a Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision,” 87
`
`Fed. Reg. 14,332 (March 14, 2022). Consistent with the Court’s February 9,
`
`2022 Order, the Federal Agency Respondents notified the Court about
`
`EPA’s action on March 15, 2022, and the undersigned parties are timely
`
`submitting this joint motion to govern. See Dkt. No. 1939146.
`
`
`
`Respondent-Intervenor States Ohio et al., however, filed a separate
`
`motion asking the Court to take the cases out of abeyance and proceed to
`
`hear argument on the merits of the now repealed and rescinded 2019
`
`Actions. Dkt. No. 1942613 (Apr. 2022 Ohio et al. Mot. to Govern). In their
`
`motion, Respondent-Intervenor States represent that “Ohio (along with a
`
`group of other States) will soon file a petition challenging [EPA’s] rescission
`
`[of its portion of the 2019 Actions].” Id. at 3. The deadline for any party to
`
`file a petition for review challenging that EPA action is May 13, 2022.

`
`ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`It is well within the Court’s authority and consistent with its past
`
`practice to hold proceedings in abeyance where doing so would promote
`
`justice, judicial economy, and expedient resolution of the cases on its
`
`docket. Landis v. N. Am. Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254 (1936) (“the power to stay
`
`proceedings is incidental to the power inherent in every court to control the
`
`disposition of the causes on its docket with economy of time and effort for
`
`itself, for counsel, and for litigants”). The Court has relied on this authority
`
`to hold proceedings in abeyance where petitions for review challenge an
`
`agency’s rescission of its prior action, raising the possibility that the Court
`
`may vacate those agency actions. See, e.g., American Petroleum Inst. v.
`
`EPA, No. 13-1108 (D.C. Cir. Dec. 10, 2020) (Dkt. No. 1875192) (granting
`
`parties’ joint motion to hold proceeding in abeyance pending resolution of
`
`later-filed challenges to subsequent agency action); Murray Energy Corp. v.
`
`EPA, No. 16-1127 (D.C. Cir. Aug. 26, 2020) (Dkt. No. 1858346) (granting
`
`joint motion requesting that consolidated cases continue to remain in
`
`abeyance in light of challenges to agency action rescinding challenged
`
`actions).
`
`
`
`Similar circumstances are presented here. Respondent-Intervenor
`
`States Ohio et al. have represented that they will file a petition challenging
`6
`
`
`
`USCA Case #19-1230 Document #1943207 Filed: 04/14/2022 Page 7 of 23
`
`the rescission of EPA’s portion of the 2019 Actions, and that such a
`
`challenge may “restore [those portions of the 2019 Actions] under review
`
`here.” Dkt. No. 1942613 at 3. Until either (1) this Court has disposed of
`
`any such petition challenging the rescission of EPA’s 2019 Action, or (2) the
`
`deadline to file a petition challenging the rescission of EPA’s 2019 Action
`
`has passed and no petition for review has been filed, abeyance is
`
`appropriate.
`
`
`
`Continuing to hold these cases in abeyance will allow for the most
`
`efficient and orderly resolution of the legal issues raised here, conserving
`
`both the Court’s and the parties’ resources. This Court should consider the
`
`parties’ disputes not in the context of the rescinded 2019 Actions, which are
`
`not now and may never be operative, but in the context of any challenges –
`
`including that of Respondent-Intervenor States – to EPA’s 2022 action. If
`
`EPA’s 2022 action is upheld, the pending questions in this litigation will not
`
`need to be decided. But in the event parties successfully challenge EPA’s
`
`2022 action and so “restore [portions of the 2019 Actions] under review
`
`here,” abeyance will allow the parties to consider at that time what issues
`
`remain to be decided by this Court and proceed swiftly to resolution. See
`
`Dkt. No. 1942613 (Apr. 2022 Ohio et al. Mot. to Govern) at 3.
`
`7
`
`
`
`USCA Case #19-1230 Document #1943207 Filed: 04/14/2022 Page 8 of 23
`
`
`
`Abeyance will not prejudice Respondent-Intervenor States. They
`
`previously asked this Court to hold this case in abeyance, and now assert
`
`that they will file a new challenge to EPA’s recent rescission of its 2019
`
`Action, raising their equal sovereignty argument directly. That petition
`
`would be the first to raise an equal sovereignty claim against Section 209 of
`
`the Clean Air Act (and to provide EPA an opportunity to address such a
`
`claim), despite the fact that EPA has granted over 100 waivers for
`
`California’s vehicle and engine emission standards in the five-and-a-half
`
`decades that EPA has administered this provision of the Clean Air Act.
`
`Respondent-Intervenor States’ ability to raise those same arguments as
`
`petitioners in the forthcoming litigation on EPA’s action belies any
`
`argument that they will be prejudiced from the abeyance requested here,
`
`while their anticipated petition for review is resolved.
`
`CONCLUSION
`The undersigned parties respectfully request that this Court continue to
`
`hold this matter in abeyance until either: (1) the deadline to file a petition
`
`challenging the March 2022 rescission of EPA’s 2019 Action has passed and
`
`no petition for review has been filed, or (2) this Court has disposed of any
`
`petition filed challenging the March 2022 rescission of EPA’s 2019 Action,
`

`
`
`USCA Case #19-1230 Document #1943207 Filed: 04/14/2022 Page 9 of 23

`
`2022, as to whether any petition has been filed.
