Alliance moves to block EPA from finalizing mpg rules
WASHINGTON -- A major auto trade group is making a last-ditch effort
to block the EPA from finalizing tough fuel economy standards through
the 2025 model year.
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a trade group representing
General Motors Co, Toyota Motor Corp , Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG and
Daimler AG, late Monday urged congressional negotiators to include
language in a short-term budget resolution that would bar the Obama
administration from finalizing the rules before it leaves office next
month.
"EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations
eight months early -- even after Congress warned agencies about taking
such steps while political appointees were packing their bags -- calls
out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful
policy review can occur," said Gloria Bergquist, a spokeswoman for the
group.
