XLY•EPA appeal over California emissions waivers
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Tuesday appealed a ruling blocking the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from sending landmark California vehicle emissions rules to the Republican-controlled Congress for a potential fast-track repeal.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington on Sept. 2 ruled the EPA had acted improperly by sending four waivers in June to Congress for review, including rules enacting stricter emissions standards for cars and trucks as well as for lawn-and-garden equipment.
