MEMORANDUM **

To determine whether Western States Petroleum Association’s (“WSPA”) petition is ripe for review, we evaluate “(1) the fitness of the issues for judicial decision and (2) the hardship to the parties of withholding court consideration.” Natural Res. Def. Council v. Abraham, 388 F.3d 701, 705 (9th Cir. 2004) (quoting Nat’l Park *142Hospitality Ass’n v. Dep’t of the Interior, 538 U.S. 803, 808, 123 S.Ct. 2026, 155 L.Ed.2d 1017 (2003)) (internal quotation marks omitted).

Here, the discharge limitations of which WSPA complains have yet to be imposed. These limitations are contingent on the outcome of the reasonable potential study and further action by EPA. See Notice of Final Permit Issuance, 69 Fed. Reg. 56, 761, 56,762 (Sept. 22, 2004). As of yet, EPA’s decision has not been “formalized,” nor have its “effects [been] felt in a concrete way.” Abbott Labs. v. Gardner, 387 U.S. 136, 148, 87 S.Ct. 1507, 18 L.Ed.2d 681 (1967). If, as a result of the reasonable potential study, the discharge limitations are not imposed, the ease would be “moot and judicial review completely unnecessary.” Sierra Club v. United States Nuclear Regulatory Comm’n, 825 F.2d 1356,1362 (9th Cir. 1987).

The testing requirement itself does not harm WSPA, because earlier versions of the permit also required reasonable potential study. The permit, therefore, does not “require[] an immediate and significant change in the [petitioner’s] conduct of [its] affairs with serious penalties attached to noncompliance.” Abbott Labs., 387 U.S. at 153, 87 S.Ct. 1507.

DISMISSED.
