Environmental Appeals Board Ratifies First Group of Air Consent Agreements
Client Alert | 1 min read | 01.27.06
In an extensive opinion issued today, the Environmental Appeals Board ("EAB") took the final necessary step in EPA's administrative process and ratified twenty Animal Feeding Operations Air Consent Agreements. The EAB responded to numerous substantive challenges to the agreements raised by various citizen groups (including the Association of Irritated Residents and the Sierra Club) and held that the agreements comply with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
Now that the EAB has ratified these air consent agreements, EPA will coordinate the EAB's approval of the remaining 2,600+ agreements, which we expect will occur very quickly. The 20 agreements ratified today involved 10 swine and 10 egg farms.
We expect that the air monitoring studies will proceed shortly for the swine and egg species.

Counterfeiting Litigation Targets Online Marketplaces
The landscape of counterfeiting litigation is shifting in ways that place online marketplace operators at the center of disputes from two directions. Brand owners are escalating efforts to hold platforms liable for counterfeit goods sold through their sites, while some marketplace operators have begun joining brand owners as co-plaintiffs to pursue counterfeiters directly. This dual role has significant implications for how platforms manage their legal exposure and their relationships with brand owners.
