Battle Heats Up Over Emissions
By Sholnn Freeman
The Washington Post

States ask EPA for right to impose stricter standards.

Pressure mounted on the Bush administration yesterday to
allow states to impose their own regulations on vehicle
emissions.

At a hearing yesterday, officials from California and other
states urged the Environmental Protection Agency to grant
California a waiver from federal controls so it could apply
its stringent emissions standards.

In New York, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg (R) took his own
action to curb emissions from his city's 13,000 taxis.
Bloomberg proposed a plan yesterday to replace the entire
taxicab fleet with hybrid vehicles by 2012. He said the
changeover would be phased in, with 1,000 hybrid taxicabs
by October 2008 and 4,000 by October 2009.

At an EPA hearing in Washington, California Attorney
General Jerry Brown called on EPA Administrator Stephen
L. Johnson to approve a waiver so California could enact
rules to require a 30 percent reduction in greenhouse
gases by 2016.

Brown said the state is prepared to sue the EPA if the
waiver is blocked. "This is a worldwide crisis," Brown
said. "There's no excuse any longer." Brown also appeared
at a Senate Environment and Public Works Committee hearing
on the same subject.

If California is granted a waiver, other states would
be allowed under the federal Clean Air Act to adopt
California's rules. So far, 11 states have enacted laws
to follow California. Officials from Maryland, New Jersey,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Pennsylvania
and New York also spoke in favor of the waiver yesterday.

The hearing was part of the EPA's formal waiver-request
process. A second public hearing is scheduled for May 30
in Sacramento. The EPA will then issue a ruling, but it
was not clear when a final decision would come.
Environmentalists say they fear the Bush administration
would put off a decision until late in 2008.

"Technically, the decision is going to be made by the EPA,"
said Frank O'Donnell, president of Clean Air Watch. "In
reality, we all know it's going to be made in the White
House."

Steven Douglas, director of environmental affairs of the
Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, called a waiver
unnecessary and counterproductive. The alliance, the chief
auto-industry lobbying group, has sued California in state
and federal court to block its proposed standards. Douglas
said new standards could lead to a "patchwork of state and
federal rules" on fuel economy. He said automakers are at
work on new technology to curb global warming, including
the rollout of ethanol-powered vehicles and gas-electric
hybrids.

The alliance has long argued that California's emissions
rules are so strict that they would cause extensive design
changes to new vehicles, driving up prices and crippling
car sales. Douglas said the carmakers had to take into
account safety, performance and cargo space in combination
with improved fuel economy.

Environmentalist groups, state regulators and the auto
industry have engaged in legal and political fights
around the country over car pollution and global warming.
California last year sued six automakers over global
warming, claiming that car and truck emissions injure the
state's environment and economy and endanger public health.
In April, the U.S. Supreme Court handed environmentalists
a victory when it ruled that the EPA violated the Clean Air
Act by declining to regulate global-warming pollution from
vehicles.

The 2002 California emissions rule, known as the Pavley
law, represents a landmark in efforts by environmentalists
to get the government to regulate greenhouse gases from
cars. Fran Pavley, who was a California assemblywoman when
she wrote the original rule, testified at the EPA hearing
in support of the waiver.
