Natural Resouces Defense Council v. US Environmental Protection Agency

In a petition for review of an EPA order overruling petitioner’s objections to the Agency’s risk assessments for the pesticide dichlorvos and denying the petitioner’s requests for a public evidentiary hearing, petition is granted in part and denied in part where the EPA conducted subject risk assessments without using a tenfold children’s safety factor that Congress provided should presumptively apply, and it failed to explain why it did not apply this margin of safety.
