LaMalfa Statement on CARB Withdrawal of Clean Air Act Waiver

Washington, D.C.-Today, Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) released the following statement regarding the California Air Resources Board's decision to withdraw its Clean Air Act waiver to the EPA for its Advanced Clean Fleet and In-Use Locomotive Regulation rules:

"This is a rare but welcome move from CARB. Withdrawing these burdensome regulations is a win for our trucking and train industries, which have faced crippling costs and disruptions. The Advanced Clean Fleet and In-Use Locomotive Regulation rules were unrealistic and would have placed unnecessary financial burden on businesses, consumers, and the economy. President Trump has been outspoken against overreach like this, and it's about time California follows his lead in rethinking its heavy-handed approach. This decision is a step in the right direction, and I hope it signals a shift toward more balanced and responsible policymaking in California," said Rep. LaMalfa.

Congressman Doug LaMalfa is Chairman of the Congressional Western Caucus and a lifelong farmer representing California's First Congressional District, including Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Shasta, Siskiyou, Sutter, Tehama and Yuba Counties.
