EPA Is Preparing to Reinstate California’s Authority to Set More Stringent Car Emissions Rules
The Biden administration is preparing to reinstate California’s authority to set auto emissions rules that are more stringent than federal standards, taking a major step toward cutting transportation-related climate pollution and continuing to chip away at former President Trump’s environmental rollbacks.
Fourteen states and the District of Columbia follow California’s tougher rules, together representing over a third of the national auto market. California itself is the largest economy in the country and fifth globally. For its part, NHTSA moved to restore the waiver last year . The agency said the Trump rollback “overstepped the Agency’s legal authority and established overly broad prohibitions that did not account for a variety of important State and local interests.”
“It paves the way for California to set the nation’s cleanest car rules again,” he said. “But it’s only meaningful if California actually uses its unique power to make the deep emissions cuts we need to tackle the climate emergency.”
