II. Judicial Review
Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA indicates
which Federal Courts of Appeal have
venue for petitions of review of final
actions by the EPA. This section
provides, in part, that ‘‘a petition for
review of action of the Administrator in
promulgating . . . any standard of
performance or requirement under
section [111] of [the CAA],’’ or any other
‘‘nationally applicable’’ final action,
‘‘may be filed only in the United States
Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia.’’ The EPA has determined
that its action denying the petition for
reconsideration is nationally applicable
for purposes of CAA section 307(b)(1)
because the action directly relates to the
Risk Management Program regulations
promulgated under CAA section 112(r),
which are nationally applicable
requirements. Thus, any petition for
review of the final letter denying the
petition for reconsideration must be
filed in the Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit on or before
February 28, 2025.

Administrator.
