Full copies of the E PS are available from AACPE upon request. Actio:': Plea Immediately after the ETS was filed, Kirkland & Ellis filed a petition for judicial review of the ETS in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (Mew Orleans). Filing in the Fifth Circuit azures the asbestos industry of a fair arid impartial hearing of its case, as opposed to the me: o liberal or public-interest group oriented venue of the. District of Columbia Circuit. It also assures industry that any appeals of the proposed rulemaking will also bo hoard in thus court. To date, no petitions have be.'; filed by ::dv rsnry interests, e.g. labor u.rons.
