Plaintiffs alleged that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) failed to undertake certain non-discretionary duties under CAA to ``review, and revise as necessary . . . no less often than every 8 years'' the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) From Secondary Lead Smelting because more than 8 years have passed since EPA completed the prior review of the NESHAP From Secondary Lead Smelting, (``the 2012 Rule'').
