KING, Circuit Judge:
Defendants-appellants, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Administrator and Regional Administrator of that agency (collectively, the EPA), appeal the district court’s refusal to dismiss the suit of the plaintiff-appellee, Voluntary Purchasing Groups, Inc. (VPG), seeking a declaratory judgment that it is not liable for the EPA’s response actions in connection with a site cleaned up by the EPA. Finding that the district court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, we reverse and direct the district court to dismiss VPG’s suit.
