North Dakota federal judge axes environmental rule
A North Dakota federal judge has ruled that the Council on Environmental Quality, established by Congress in 1969, has been operating beyond its intended role as an advisory body. U.S. District Court Judge Dan Traynor struck down a 2024 regulation that altered the federal environmental review process, affirming the recent D.C. Circuit Court’s finding that the agency lacks rulemaking authority. This decision highlights ongoing tensions regarding regulatory power and the balance between environmental protection and infrastructure development.
