"The attorneys general of 14 states sent a letter on Friday to Andrew Wheeler, acting administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, requesting that the agency reverse its decision to suspend a regulation that limits the production of high-polluting diesel trucks. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra led the coalition.
The letter comes one week after the EPA announced—on then-EPA administrator Scott Pruitt's last day of work—that it would not enforce a 2016 regulation that limits the manufacture of "glider trucks," diesel freight trucks refurbished with older engines that pollute significantly more than newer engines. The announcement followed pressure from glider truck manufacturers, the New York Times reports.
The letter calls the EPA's action "an unlawful rule suspension masquerading as an exercise of enforcement discretion.""
