The Chevron decision initially came as a win for the Reagan administration's deregulatory efforts, requiring judges to defer to federal agencies to interpret ambiguous laws.

The precedent later allowed the Environmental Protection Agency to enact Clean Air Act regulations that favored polluting facilities.

CNBC reports that the United States water system has been the target of a series of cyberattacks over the past few years. . In response, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been forced to issue an alert warning that 70% of water systems do not comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act. According to the EPA, some have ā€œalarming cybersecurity vulnerabilities,ā€ including unchanged default passwords and former employees who retain access to vital systems. In February, the FBI issued a warning to Congress that Chinese hackers have embedded themselves into the U.S. cyber infrastructure. .

EPA's New Limits on PFAS in Drinking Water Could Be Upended by the Supreme Court

'Newsweek' reports that the United States Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a case against new water rules put in place by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 'Newsweek' reports that the United States Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a case against new water rules put in place by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In April, new national limits were placed on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the nation's drinking water, otherwise known as PFAS. . Also known as "forever chemicals," PFAS have been linked to a number of health concerns, including cancer. According to the EPA, of the 66,000 public drinking water systems impacted by the new limits, an estimated 6% to 10% will need to make updates to meet the new standards. According to San Francisco, the EPA's new "narrative" regulations fail to meet the Clean Water Act's requirement to lay out clear restrictions. The lawsuit headed to the Supreme Court accuses the EPA of setting vague rules without quantifiable standards. Rather than specify pollutant limits that tell the permitholder how much they need to control their discharges as required by the CWA, these prohibitions effectively tell permitholders nothing more than not to cause 'too much' pollution, Lawyers representing San Francisco, via 'Newsweek'. These generic water quality terms expose San Francisco and numerous permitholders nationwide to enforcement actions while failing to tell them how much they need to limit or treat their discharges to comply with the Act, Lawyers representing San Francisco, via 'Newsweek'. We simply want to know in advance what requirements apply to us, and we want the EPA to fulfil its duty under the Clean Water Act to determine those requirements. , Lawyers representing San Francisco, via 'Newsweek'. 'Newsweek' points out that the Supreme Court has sided against the EPA in the past, most recently in 2022 when it ruled 6-3 against the Biden administration's climate agenda. .

According to the EPA's warning, countries like China, Russia and Iran. have "disrupted some water systems with cyberattacks and may have embedded the capability to disable them in the future.". Drinking water and wastewater systems are an attractive target for cyberattacks because they are a lifeline critical infrastructure sector but often lack the resources and technical capacity to adopt rigorous cybersecurity practices, Michael S. Regan, EPA administrator, and White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, via March 18 letter to all 50 U.S. governors. The EPA is offering to train water utilities at no cost to correct some of the issues, . but other issues are more complex and costly, which many utilities companies aren't equipped for. . Certainly, cybersecurity is part of that, but that's never been their primary expertise.

Due to a provision that was part of a major tax law enacted by former President Donald Trump in 2017, the Moores paid $15,000 in additional taxes. They later sought a refund for that payment, arguing that they had been unlawfully taxed based on an increase in the value of a capital investment not qualifying as income.
