HOUSTON, Dec. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Inhance Technologies today announced it is seeking review by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to stop the one-sided orders issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on December 1. If allowed to take effect, the orders will force Inhance Technologies to shut down its 11 barrier technology facilities across the U.S., disrupting downstream industries and related supply chains that rely on the company's environmentally critical technology. Inhance Technologies seeks to expedite a review by the Court and to halt EPA's actions prohibiting fluorination, which would otherwise become effective on February 28, 2024.
Key Points:
- HOUSTON, Dec. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Inhance Technologies today announced it is seeking review by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to stop the one-sided orders issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on December 1.
- Inhance Technologies seeks to expedite a review by the Court and to halt EPA's actions prohibiting fluorination, which would otherwise become effective on February 28, 2024.
- EPA also failed to provide Inhance Technologies with fair notice that it believed the SNUR applied to the company's fluorination technology – an interpretation EPA adopted only in hindsight, two years after the final rule was published.
- Rather than declaring a new rule, EPA has in effect retrofitted the SNUR to enable its recent regulatory actions against Inhance Technologies.
