As you can see, this includes air and climate, water, and solid waste regulations and policies, as well as the new framework for interpreting statutes and implementing regulatory programs under the Supreme Court's decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (2024). AF&PA represents U.S. manufacturers of pulp, paper, packaging, tissue and wood products with fact-based public policy and marketplace advocacy.
