D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that federal agencies and courts have been misinterpreting a major environmental law for the last half-century .

The ruling casts doubt on whether a key White House agency can write binding regulations on environmental policy.

Congress enacted NEPA in 1969 after the environmentalist movement emerged as a major force in American politics.

The FAA had relied on CEQ regulations when adopting its current plan for air tours over the parks, the panel vacated the current plan and ordered it to start anew.

The FAA could appeal the ruling to be reviewed by the entire D.C. Circuit , where Democratic appointees hold a majority.
