华盛顿6月22日电（路透社）——美国加州于周一起诉美国环境保护署，此前该机构于本月早些时候将具有里程碑意义的加州汽车排放标准送交由共和党掌控的国会，以考虑废除该标准。
美国环保署表示，根据《国会审查法案》，应将此前民主党政府批准的、依据《清洁空气法》针对加州环境法规的豁免权送交国会审议。

加州方面称该行为非法，应被哥伦比亚特区美国地区法院叫停，并辩称美国环保署试图“变魔术”，将豁免权变为一项正式规则。
“这些最新的非法行为将意味着更多污染、更差的空气质量、更多的市场不确定性，以及为本已饱受排放问题困扰的社区带来更大的健康风险，”加州总检察长罗布·邦塔说道，他同时指出加州已获得超过75项环境行动豁免权。
美国环保署未立即置评。
特朗普政府正采取多方面举措，剥夺加州要求车企生产更清洁车辆和更多电动汽车的权利。美国环保署还出台规则，允许车企销售更多汽油动力汽车和卡车，同时推高电动汽车的购买成本。
此次送交国会审议的四项豁免权，授予加州制定针对汽车、卡车以及园林设备自身排放标准的权力。这些规则曾促使车企生产更清洁的电动车型以减少排放。
2022年，时任总统拜登领导下的美国环保署批准了加州现行的汽车排放标准。
加州的规则要求车企销售越来越多的电动汽车，并满足日益严格的尾气排放限制。
这些规则比特朗普政府时期推行的标准要严格得多，后者计划放松联邦燃油经济性规则。
特朗普去年签署法案，推翻了加州旨在2035年前逐步淘汰新汽油动力汽车的规定。加州辩称，该规则为消费者节省的燃油成本远高于电动汽车更高的前期购置成本。
在丰田、通用汽车等车企游说要求豁免加州的排放监管后，国会取消了加州在2035年后禁止传统汽油动力汽车销售的权力。
此事源于美国环保署将该项目的豁免权送交国会审议。许多民主党议员辩称，根据《国会审查法案》，此类豁免权不应接受审议。加州也已就此次送交国会的豁免权提交一事提起诉讼。

California sues US EPA over sending emissions rules to Congress for potential reversal

WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) – The state of California sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Monday after the agency earlier this month sent the Republican-controlled Congress landmark state vehicle emissions rules for potential repeal.
The EPA said waivers under the Clean Air Act for California environmental regulations approved under prior Democratic administrations should have been sent to lawmakers under the Congressional Review Act.

California said the action was illegal and should be blocked by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, arguing that the EPA was seeking to “wave a magic wand” and turn a waiver into a rule.
“These latest illegal actions would mean more pollution, poorer air quality, more market uncertainty, and greater health risks for communities already overburdened by emissions,” said California Attorney General Rob Bonta, noting the state has received more than 75 waivers for environmental actions.
The EPA did not immediately comment.
The Trump administration has mounted a multi-pronged effort to deny California the ability to require cleaner vehicles and more electric vehicles. The EPA has also enacted rules making it easier for automakers to sell more gasoline-powered cars and trucks, while making it more expensive to buy EVs.
The four waivers sent to Congress for review granted California authority to enact its own emission standards for cars and trucks as well as lawn and garden equipment. The rules have prodded companies to produce cleaner electric models to reduce emissions.
California won approval in 2022 under then-President Joe Biden’s EPA for the state’s current vehicle emissions rules.
California’s rules require automakers to sell a rising number of electric vehicles and meet increasingly stringent limits on tailpipe emissions.
Those rules are much stricter than those imposed by the Trump administration, which plans to roll back federal fuel economy rules.
Trump signed legislation last year to overturn California’s rules that aim to phase out new gasoline-powered cars by 2035. California contends the fuel savings for consumers from the rules far exceed the higher upfront costs of EVs.
Congress rescinded authority for California to outlaw traditional gasoline-powered vehicles after 2035 after Toyota, GM and other automakers lobbied for relief from California’s emissions regulations.
That came after the EPA sent Congress the waiver for that program for review. Many Democratic lawmakers contended the waivers are not reviewable under the CRA. California has also challenged that waiver submission to Congress.
