Earlier this year, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) notified the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that it had adopted its In-Use Locomotive Regulation and requested the EPA’s authorization according to section 209(e) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The EPA is currently determining whether the regulation meets the criteria for a waiver of federal preemption. Approving the waiver would allow California and other states to mandate zero-emissions locomotives even though these technologies are not yet available to meet the nation’s rail transportation needs. Our expert panelists discussed CARB’s waiver request, the state of emissions reduction technologies, and the economic implications of these standards.
