Client Alert | 1 min read | 07.06.17
In the latest podcast for Crowell & Moring’s “Trump: The First Year” series, Dan Wolff and Tom Lorenzen, both litigation partners in the firm’s Environment & Natural Resources Group and Administrative Law & Regulatory Practice, discuss the implications of a July 3 D.C. Circuit ruling invalidating EPA's 90-day administrative stay of the current oil and gas methane rule.
Discussed in this 21-minute podcast:
- An overview of the Clean Air Council v. Pruitt decision.
- The possible impacts of this decision on the administration’s stated goal of "deconstructing the administrative state."
- Other possible mechanisms for halting rules in the short term without going through notice-and-comment rulemaking.
- The practical implications of this ruling, and key takeaways for businesses.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) published a final rule amending 14 CFR Part 234 that fundamentally changes how airlines report the causes of flight delays and cancellations. Effective October 19, 2026, the rule implements Section 511(b) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 by creating a new reporting category, the “Section 511(b) category,” for ten specific events that Congress determined are not attributable to airline control. The rule simultaneously narrows the existing "Air Carrier" reporting category by expressly excluding those same ten events.
