In its ruling, the district court found that few material facts were truly in dispute and that the case hinges mostly on questions of law. “The facts we established at trial haven’t changed, and they still show Oregon’s law is unconstitutional,” said Eric Hoplin, President and CEO, NAW. “The district court reached the wrong legal conclusions, and we’re asking the Ninth Circuit to correct them.” NAW’s appeal focuses on two principal issues: First, Oregon’s EPR law disrupts nationally integrated supply chains by imposing fees on wholesaler distributors who control neither the packaging nor the final destination of their products, forcing multistate companies to re engi- neer their operations, and in some cases route product around Oregon entirely. Worse, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) anticipated producers would recover program costs from customers in other states, and cited that as a way to reduce price impacts on Oregonians. NAW argues funding new statewide infrastructure at the expense of out-of-state wholesaler-distributors and con- sumers violates the dormant Commerce Clause. Second, Oregon delegated authority to develop and run the program and to set and collect the fees producers must pay to the Circular Action Alliance (CAA), a private organization with its own business interests. CAA calcu- lates those fees using a methodology it has designated “confidential,” and fee disputes go to binding arbitration
