The White House and U.S. Justice Department disagree with the Environmental Protection
Agency over a Massachusetts auto-emissions rule that would require
production of non-polluting cars, Reuters reported.
The Massachusetts program would copy a California law
requiring at least one in 10 vehicles produce no pollution. The
Environmental Protection Agency praised the Massachusetts program,
Reuters said.

The administration of President George W. Bush said the
California rules infringe on the federal government’s power to set
mileage standards. The Justice Department, in siding with
automakers General Motors Corp. and DaimlerChrysler AG, supports
an injunction that delays implementation of the California rules
until the 2005 model year, Reuters said.
The EPA asked for public comment on the Massachusetts program
through Nov. 14. Officials at the agency couldn’t immediately be
reached for comment, Reuters said.
