Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana 14th Judicial District Court Calcasieu Parish,, Louisiana N0N-RESP0NS1VE MATERIAL REDACTED Litigation and Related Activities Vinyl Chloride Litigation. CMA has intervened 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 emissions" standards for all carcinogens. CMA and the American Petroleum Institute, who also intervened, are arguing 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. All briefs have now been filed. A decision is expected by the spring of 1986. NON-RESPONSIVE MATERIAL REDACTED Page 16 CMA 012661
