The Environmental Defense Fund has filed a second lawsuit seeking to force more agencies to divulge details about the Trump administration’s efforts to revoke a cornerstone of U.S. climate policy. The lawsuit filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia calls on the Interior Department, NOAA and the White House Council on Environmental Quality to release information related to the administration’s plans to strike down the 2009 endangerment finding, which gives agencies authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. EDF said the latest lawsuit comes after the three agencies failed to respond to a Freedom of Information Act request — a situation the lawsuit said is “completely lacking in transparency, in contrast with the extensive public process that EPA undertook to develop and adopt the endangerment finding.”
