Several states sue over fuel economy penalties By DON THOMPSON Associated Press SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A coalition of states sued the Trump administra- tion on Friday for the sec- ond time to block a planned reduction in the penalties automakers pay when they fail to meet fuel economy standards. Twelve states — includ- ing Oregon and Washington state — and the District of Columbia sued the National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration for replac- ing an Obama-era regula- tion that imposed a pen- alty of $14 for every tenth of a mile-per-gallon that an automaker falls below the standards.

The lawsuit contends the traffi c safety administra- tion decision was based on inaccurate assumptions on the economic impact of the increased penalties. New York offi cials pre- viously estimated the higher penalties would trim carbon emissions and save con- sumers on average $1,650 annually in fuel costs. “Without strong penal- ties for violating these fuel effi ciency standards, con- sumers, our economy, and our environment all remain in danger,” New York Attor- ney General Letitia James said in a statement. Joining in the lawsuit were the attorneys gen- eral of Connecticut, Del- aware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Vermont. administration’s push to relax mileage standards nationwide. The new federal rule would keep the penalty at $5.50, where it has been since the mid-1970s. The legal challenge, led by the attorneys general in California and New York, argues that the new rule would keep the penalty far below the infl ation-adjusted rate required by a 2015 law. The new Trump rule says the 2015 law doesn’t apply to the mileage penalties, and if it did, nearly tripling the civil penalty rate would have a negative economic impact. The U.S. Department of Transportation, which includes the highway safety administration, said it expects the Trump pen- alty would reduce the future burden on the industry and consumers by as much as $1 billion a year. The states sued in the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan. The same court last year decided the administration could not delay the penalty increase.
