CARB Chairman Applauds White House for National Clean Cars Rule

SACRAMENTO—California Air Resources Board Chairman Mary D.
Nichols issued the following statement today after the Obama
Administration announced it had adopted a national clean cars
rule modeled after California's first-in-the-nation vehicle
emissions standard:

"Today's final step in fulfilling a commitment President Obama
made when he ran shows what can be accomplished when states take
the lead and the federal government backs them up. For eight long
years California and the thirteen other states that adopted our
tough standards led the way. This action by the White House now
means consumers in all fifty states can benefit from cleaner,
more efficient cars.”

On February 25, California took the final step to complete its
commitment to the agreement announced last May by the Obama
Administration to establish national greenhouse gas and fuel
efficiency standards.  (See the February 25, 2010 ARB press
release for details of that action by ARB.) 

The Air Resources Board is a department of the California
Environmental Protection Agency.  ARB’s mission is to promote and
protect public health, welfare, and ecological resources through
effective reduction of air pollutants while recognizing and
considering effects on the economy.  The ARB oversees all air
pollution control efforts in California to attain and maintain
health based air quality standards.
