Office of the Solicitor General

Washington, D.C. 20530 June 25, 2021 Honorable Scott S. Harris Clerk Supreme Court of the United States Washington, D.C. 20543 Re: The North American Coal Corp. v. Environmental Protection Agency, No. 20-1531 Dear Mr. Harris: The petition for a writ of certiorari in the above-captioned case was filed on April 30, 2021. The government’s response is now due, after one extension, on July 6, 2021. We respectfully request, under Rule 30.4 of the Rules of this Court, a further extension of time to and including August 5, 2021, within which to file a response.

This extension is necessary because the attorneys with principal responsibility for preparation of the government’s response have been heavily engaged with the press of previously assigned matters with proximate due dates. Counsel for petitioner does not oppose this further extension. Sincerely, Elizabeth B. Prelogar Acting Solicitor General cc: See Attached Service List
