US EPA sends California emissions rules to Congress for potential reversal WASHINGTON, June 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Friday said it was sending to Congress landmark California vehicle emissions rules for potential repeal.
The EPA said that waivers for the California regulations approved under prior Democratic administrations should have been sent to lawmakers under the Congressional Review Act. The rules include California's Affordable Clean Cars I that allows California to impose vehicle emissions requirements stricter than federal standards.
