ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO INTERVENE, DOC. 7
Kane, J.
Per Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 24(a)(2) and 24(b), American Petroleum Institute’s
Motion to Intervene, Doc. 7, is GRANTED. Respondent Intervenor’s participation is not,
however, without limitation. Counsel for Federal Respondents and counsel for American
Petroleum Institute must confer before filing any motion, responsive filing, or brief to determine
whether their positions may be set forth in a consolidated fashion. Respondent Intervenor may
file separate motions, responsive filings, or briefs only to raise arguments or issues Federal
Respondents decline to raise in their filings. Any new arguments raised by Respondent

Intervenor must be germane to the claims raised by the original parties; arguments relating to
collateral issues will be stricken as immaterial. Any separate filings must include a Certificate of
Compliance, confirming compliance with this conferral requirement. The Certificate of
Compliance should also include a statement that the Federal Respondents’ position does not
adequately cover the issues Respondent Intervenor seeks to raise by way of supplemental filings.
