•      "We applaud the Biden administration’s restoration of California’s authority to set its own, stronger vehicle emissions standards. California has long been a leader in clean air and climate policy, working with auto manufacturers to set and achieve ambitious environmental goals that protect public health, safeguard clean air and save money for consumers. Today’s action by the EPA recognizes California’s environmental leadership and confirms California’s clear authority under the Clean Air Act to set its own emissions standards in order to protect public health and the environment. California was the first state to set 2035 as the target by which all vehicles sold must be zero-emission. The restoration of California’s waiver will help make that goal a reality by enabling California to set even more ambitious pollution standards in the future." Source: Rep. Alex Padilla (Democrat, California)

•      "We, the undersigned 127 health, business, labor, environmental, consumer, and science organizations urge you to vote NO on Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolutions that aim to overturn Advanced Clean Trucks (“ACT”), Advanced Clean Cars II (“ACC II”), and Heavy-Duty Omnibus (“HDO”) preemption waivers (H.J. Res. 87, H.R. Res. 88, H.J. Res. 89). These critical clean air standards, previously granted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are essential for reducing toxic air pollution, protecting public health, and cutting climate-damaging emissions. If successful, these CRA resolutions would mark the first time in the more than half-century of the Clean Air Act that Congress has attempted to take away states’ rights to choose clean vehicle standards to protect their citizens from dangerous air pollution. Using the CRA on these standards is an unprecedented and reckless attack on state sovereignty and allows EPA to avoid any accountability by bypassing explaining and defending its action to the public and the courts. Furthermore, improperly applying the CRA would open up a Pandora's box, creating a precedent for future attempts to apply the CRA to any number of executive actions outside its scope, from approval for Medicaid waivers to changes to K-12 education plans."
