Story by David Shepardson • 8h
DETROIT (Reuters) - A senior California official said on Tuesday he expects the Environmental Protection Agency will approve the state's landmark plan to end the sale of gasoline-only vehicles by 2035.
The California Air Resources Board has sought a waiver from the EPA under the Clean Air Act to implement its plan to end sales of gasoline-only vehicles by 2035 and has seven other waiver requests pending for other environmental regulations.
"We certainly made it clear that we expect EPA to grant these waivers," CARB Executive Officer Steven Cliff said at a Reuters Next conference in Detroit. "What's important is we cannot enforce a rule without that waiver in place."
An EPA spokesperson said the agency "is following the prescribed process in the Clean Air Act in reviewing all California waiver requests."
