The Fifth Circuit has set aside Biden-era energy efficiency standards for stoves and cooktopsPosted on by CFWThe Fifth Circuit has set aside Biden-era energy efficiency standards for stoves and cooktops, ruling that the Energy Department illegally refused to withdraw the rule after states raised objections requiring ordinary notice-and-comment rulemaking. The Fifth Circuit held they are for consensus regulations, must be withdrawn when objections provide a “reasonable basis,” and are not final for judicial review until DOE adheres to them.
