Conoco, Inc., No. 90-4837 14th Judicial District Court Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana 4, Litigation and Related Activities vinyl Chloride Litigation. CMA has moved to intervene in a court suit brought by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) challenging EPA's emission standards for vinyl chloride under section 112 of the Clean Air Act. This case will probably be the first to decide the meaning of the "ample margin of safety" test of section 112. NRDC contends that section 112 requires EPA to set "zero-risk, zero-ennnissions" standards for all carcinogens. CMA and the American Petroleum Institute, who also intervened, will argue in support of EPA's position in the case, that the Agency is authorized to take cost and feasibility into account in setting emission standards under section 112. NRDC filed its brief on June 17, with EPA's response submitted on July 25. The CMA/API brief will be filed on August 19. A decision is expected by the spring of 1986. CONFIDENTIAL Subject to Protective Order i Koss v. Conoco.
