The Environmental Law Institute's Fall Practice Update is an annual, half-day seminar addressing important issues in environmental law and management. It allows practitioners to both learn about and share their views on cutting edge environmental legal issues. Topics to be presented this year are:
Climate Briefing, 8:30 — 9:15 AM
Staying on top of the legal and policy developments in the climate change arena is no small task. As a special service to our members, the Environmental Law Institute provides monthly conference calls with three of the foremost experts on the climate law and policy. This month’s Climate Briefing will be part of our Fall Practice Update. The panelists will discuss the future of climate legislation and regulations, international negotiations, and other significant issues that practitioners should follow.
Speakers:
Scott Schang, Vice President, Climate and Sustainability, Environmental Law Institute (moderator)
Vicki Arroyo, Executive Director, Georgetown Climate Center, Georgetown University Law Center
Kyle W. Danish, Partner, Van Ness Feldman, P.C.
Manik Roy, Director of Congressional Affairs for the Pew Center on Global Climate Change
Understanding the New Air Pollution Rules, 9:30 — 11:00 AM
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has embarked on an ambitious schedule of air pollution rulemaking following the vacatur of several Bush administration rulemakings. The “transport rule” seeks to cap interstate emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from power plants to replace the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). Also on the schedule are: a plan to review and update hazardous air pollution rules covering 28 types of industrial facilities, rules limiting mercury and other toxic emissions including arsenic, dioxins, and hydrochloric acid, national health standards for ozone, and BACT standards that will likely address greenhouse gases. Panelists will discuss how these various rules interrelate and how they might fit with legislative developments in the next two years.
Speakers:
Chuck Knauss, Partner, Bingham McCutchen LLP (moderator)
Robert D. Brenner, Director, Office of Policy Analysis and Review, Office of Air and Radiation, US EPA
John Walke, Clean Air Director/Senior Attorney, Natural Resources Defense Council
