They also said the rule violates the Clean Air Act by failing to place stringent controls on a dangerous pollutant that especially threatens women and children.
I think I need to do a little more research into this, but maybe there is some overlap with the Mercury rule and the Clean Air Act. Maybe the mercury rule was more specific, but there was some coverage under the Clean Air Act that was not specific to mercury but covered it as a "toxin".
I'm willing to say I'm not sure about the discrepance, but I maintain my stance that the Bush admin favored industry over the health and wellbeing of people and most likely skewed it's finding to make the new rule look ok when it could be much better.
