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.

Michael S. Regan,
Administrator.
