Bracewell’s Jeff Holmstead told Inside EPA that it’s “highly unlikely” the DC Circuit rules on the EPA’s greenhouse gas rule for power plants before the Trump administration takes over on January 20.

The suit, Commonwealth of Kentucky v. EPA, focuses on EPA’s rule tightening national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for PM.
