It is important to note that a suboptimal regulatory regime could either over-regulate or under-regulate. In some environmental literature, however, there is a greater concern that states will under-regulate absent active federal participation in environmental protection.

note
-
It should be noted that increases in the stringency of environmental regulation will not necessarily produce net increases in social welfare. Insofar as the costs of increased environmental regulation, economic and otherwise, are greater than the benefits, increased regulation will reduce social welfare. However, insofar as one assumes that existing environmental regulations are under-protective, the potential for federal regulations to discourage greater protection at the state level should be of some concern. See also infra Part IV.

Identifying and quantifying the extent of any such crowding out and other indirect effects of non-preemptive federal regulation on state regulatory activities in the environmental and other regulatory contexts is a subject for subsequent empirical investigation, and lies beyond the scope of this Article.

This increase in the demand for environmental protection should also be driven, in part, by the increased marginal value of undeveloped land or resources as the supply dwindles. For example, holding all else equal, the marginal value of each acre of undeveloped land in a sparsely populated and largely undeveloped state should be less than the value of an acre in a highly developed state.

A Different Kind of "Republican Moment" in Environmental Law
-
See in 369, (Jim Chen ed.). There are some potential problems with the use of LCV vote ratings to measure the environmental nature of a given state's politics. First, some would argue that the LCV vote ratings are politicized, if not somewhat partisan. In this critique, the LCV vote ratings do not measure whether a given politician is "pro-environment" so much as whether he or she votes in line with Washington, D.C.-based environmental organizations and that such organizations have institutional or political interests which may conflict with some environmental goals. Insofar as such groups do not maintain a monopoly on what policy positions are pro-environment, a politician could receive a lower vote rating despite his or her attentiveness to environmental concerns. At the same time, because environmental issues may differ at the state and federal level, a pro-environment vote rating in Congress may not correlate with attentiveness to environmental concerns in a given state.
-
See Richard J. Lazarus, A Different Kind of "Republican Moment" in Environmental Law, in The Jurisdynamics of Environmental Protection: Change and the Pragmatic Voice in Environmental Law 369, 374-81 (Jim Chen ed., 2003). There are some potential problems with the use of LCV vote ratings to measure the environmental nature of a given state's politics. First, some would argue that the LCV vote ratings are politicized, if not somewhat partisan. In this critique, the LCV vote ratings do not measure whether a given politician is "pro-environment" so much as whether he or she votes in line with Washington, D.C.-based environmental organizations and that such organizations have institutional or political interests which may conflict with some environmental goals. Insofar as such groups do not maintain a monopoly on what policy positions are pro-environment, a politician could receive a lower vote rating despite his or her attentiveness to environmental concerns. At the same time, because environmental issues may differ at the state and federal level, a pro-environment vote rating in Congress may not correlate with attentiveness to environmental concerns in a given state. It may be that in a given state, environmental issues addressed by state and local governments are more important to voters than environmental issues typically addressed by the federal government, or vice versa. It is not altogether clear that state concern for local environmental problems would necessarily translate into support for politicians that are supportive of measures to address national, or even international, environmental problems. Nonetheless, LCV ratings are almost certainly measuring a factor that influences state regulatory choices, even if only the political influence of mainstream environmental interest groups.

See (noting federal preemption has often been "designed to facilitate greater total deregulation"). In some cases the purpose of federal preemption is to replace one type of regulation with another. This still results in less regulation than if the federal regulation was adopted in addition to the state regulation. The effects of preemption across states may not be uniform, however. A federal statute that imposes a federal standard when only a handful of states have regulated will increase regulation in some jurisdictions at the same time that it reduces regulation by preempting preexisting rules elsewhere

The most obvious example, albeit a case of constitutional rather than statutory preemption, occurs under the "dormant commerce clause." States are precluded from adopting measures that discriminate against out-of-state trade not because it is assumed that such regulations will be adopted by Congress. Rather, there is a constitutional presumption against the adoption of such rules by any level of government, though Congress does retain the authority to adopt laws limiting the flow of interstate commerce or even delegating authority to the states to adopt such measures themselves. This division of authority "creates obstacles to states' enacting laws that are more protective of the environment"

Massachusetts v. EPA
-
Congress considered, and rejected, a proposal to control greenhouse gas emissions during the debate over the legislation that would eventually become the 1990 CAA Amendments. During the Clinton Administration, several environmental organizations petitioned EPA, claiming the agency was nonetheless required to regulate greenhouse gases under the CAA. EPA, meanwhile, declared it had the authority to adopt such regulations, yet it did not take any steps to do so. Subsequently, under the Bush Administration, EPA revised its legal opinion, concluding that the CAA did not confer regulatory jurisdiction over greenhouse gas emissions. The Bush Administration has opposed legislative proposals to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. At the time of this writing, litigation efforts to force EPA to regulate greenhouse gases have been unsuccessful, but are ongoing. See (D.C. Cit.), cert. granted, 126 S. Ct. 2960 (2006)

The utility maximized by the policy-maker need not be the policy-maker's "self-interest" but could also be the "public interest" that the policy-maker seeks to serve. See 313, (observing that a legislator may derive utility from many different interests). Alternate assumptions do not alter the analysis. Indeed, as Jonathan Macey observes, [O]ver a wide range of issues, the outcomes predicted by the public-interest model will be identical to those predicted by the interest-group model when the political-support-maximizing solution varies widely from jurisdiction to jurisdiction

The costs and benefits of a given measure need not be measured in monetary terms. Moreover, this claim is not dependent upon being able to quantify the costs and benefits of a given regulatory measure. Whether a given measure increases social welfare is independent of the ability to measure effects on social welfare. In addition, a narrow cost-benefit comparison may ignore distributional effects that are equally relevant in the formulation of sound policies.

Navigating SWANCC: An Examination of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Authority Under the Clean Water Act

One reason given by the Army Corps and EPA to forego the rule-making was that federal courts had narrowly interpreted SWANCC's impact. Ironically, on the same day as the Army Corps/EPA announcement, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that such narrow interpretations of SWANCC were "unsustainable." See 10723

note

According to Professor Michael Gerhardt, [A]t least 19 states have responded to the decision by either enacting or recommending the enactment of laws to fill the void left as a result of the Court's decision. These states include, inter alia, California, Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin. These reactions are a clear illustration of environmental federalism in action.
